I don’t want to know the stories, I’ve read/watched so many of them over the years…but I always read/watch anyway. To me it feels like, the people in these stories, who lived through such deep deep darkness, were powerless in the face of a truly gigantic evil that stripped everything away from them. The least I can do is not look away. Hear it, be a witness for them.

I wasn’t there, but I am horrified by what happened. We should carry our horror, so we can reject any hint of that kind of dehumanization wherever, wherever we are able.

I honestly don’t get it. Do these people understand what Nazis were, and not care? Or are they ridiculous idiots who honestly don’t know what they did???

Fascism experiencing a resurgence in recent years hurts my brain. I can’t wrap my head around people preaching this evil.

For god sake, every year of my life from 4th grade on I had a Holocaust unit in school, read the personal accounts, saw the haunting photographs and videos….who makes it through childhood in the USA and winds up thinking they want to be a Nazi??

A brilliant mind to write it. I’ve only read the abridged version, but very very stark and revealing of Stalin’s regime. It’s not so widely known what he did to his own country’s people. It’s as unbelievable as OP.

Yeah, of course. I'm not saying Kanye isn't racist, just that it is pointless to acknowledge some parts of Kanye's mania as mental disorder, but not other parts. As I quoted, "anyone who scapegoats a whole group of people and seeks to eliminate them ... meets criteria for a delusional disorder".

You should be angry. They're either fooled by someone intentionally spreading misinformation for antisemitic reasons, or they're intentially spreading it themselves. Either way it leads back to antisemitism and the belief that Jewish people are less than human. If that doesn't make you angry, it should.

That's what gets me. Like it ain't even folks saying the Civil War or WW1 didn't happen. Saying a traceable, generational defining event not happening is beyond

Some people can be tracked on paper of thier trials and tribulations they suffered...

My 6th grade lit teacher read her book to the class. I'd heard of the holocaust before that, but I had never really heard an direct accounts of it. It made quite an impact on the entire class.

How can you take people that deny that the holocaust happened serious? Where are you even meeting these people? I’ve never met anyone that believes it never happened, if I did I wouldn’t be angry, I’d probably just feel bad for them considering they’re probably really stupid of might actually have something wrong with their head.
