On Monday, in the wake of comments by Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and a statement made by a Museum s...
The Museum’s original statement, released on December 12, 2018, stated:
The Holocaust has become shorthand for good vs. evil; it is the epithet to end all epithets. And the current environment of rapid fire online communication and viral memes lends itself particularly well to this sort of sloppy analogizing. Worse, it allows it to spread more widely and quickly. This oversimplified approach to complex history is dangerous. When conducted with integrity and rigor, the study of history raises more questions than answers. And as the most extensively documented crime the world has ever seen, the Holocaust offers an unmatched case study in how societies fall apart, in the immutability of human nature, in the dangers of unchecked state power. It is more than European or Jewish history. It is human history. Almost 40 years ago, the United States Congress chartered a Holocaust memorial on the National Mall for precisely this reason: The questions raised by the Holocaust transcend all divides.
It added:
Perhaps most popular this year have been accusations of “Nazism” and “fascism” against federal authorities for their treatment of children separated from their parents at the U.S. border with Mexico. “Remember, other governments put kids in camps,” is a typical rallying cry from some immigration advocates. Even a person as well versed in the tenuous balance between national security and compassion, the former head of the CIA, took to Twitter to criticize federal policies toward illegal migrants using a black and white photo of the iconic train tracks leading the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center.

It is all too easy to forget that there are many people still alive for whom the Holocaust is not “history,” but their life story and that of their families. These are not abstract tragedies on call to win an argument or an election. They carry the painful memories of the brutal murder of a cherished baby boy, the rape of a beloved sister, the parents arrested and never seen again.
As the Holocaust recedes in time, some Americans (and Europeans) are becoming increasingly casual and disrespectful to the mass murder of millions … the nature of Nazi crimes demands that we study the evidence, alert ourselves to warning signs, wrestle with the world’s moral failure. When we reduce it to a flattened morality tale, we forfeit the chance to learn from its horrific specificity. We lose sight of the ordinary human choices that made genocide possible … At a time when our country needs dialogue more than ever, it is especially dangerous to exploit the memory of the Holocaust as a rhetorical cudgel. We owe the survivors more than that. And we owe ourselves more than that.
U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell was succinct:
Never compare the Holocaust to anything. Ever. twitter.com/holocaustmuseu…

271,301 people died in Hitler’s concentration camps. They were not all Jews. Most were treated quite well maybe because Hitler was of Jewish and African ansestory.

ReplyDeleteThe hollowhoax was invented in 1978, in 1976/77 there were two jewish movies made, The Boys from Brazil about cloning Hitler and Marathon Man about Mengele and diamonds, neither mentioned any 6 million killed or made any allusion to it, then in 1978 the mini series Shoah came out and when Schlomo Shekelgrabber saw that the Goy believed it the hoax got underway, then there's the old census's that show more jews in 1948 than 1933 and that there were only 2.4m of them in all the occupied territories so they may be afraid of the truth coming out, now maybe a good time to raise your voice and question this bullshit and alert your friends and neighbors.
ReplyDeleteTHERE WAS NO HOLOCAUST..The Jews are all still here. Eisenhower , the Jew bombed the evidence.
ReplyDeleteBUT THERE WILL BE ..and SOON
No, concentration camps and ghetto's only last a few years. This has gone on long enough to be a way of life.
ReplyDeleteWould the U.S. Holocaust Museum consider Gaza a concentration camp. Innocent people have been locked up starved and slaughtered now for over 10 years.
ReplyDeleteHey Holocau$t museums around the world, how about a REAL holocaust that hit Dresden, Hamburg, two dozen other German cities; Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those were honest to God holocausts, not your fake one.
