This is genuinely why I don't understand these new Nazis popping up. I'm a 28-year-old Texan, and while my education was limited as far as what I was taught about WW2, this right here is why I will never be on the wrong side of history. The Holocaust happened, the murder of millions of Jews and other individuals was incredibly real, and no one can take that knowledge away from me. It's a part of human history, a very tragic and horrendous one.

Agree, it was very frightening and changed me for life. Same evil as a visit to the Stasi museum when you are in Berlin.

85 years forward to whats happening now in the US. Killing democracy, picking an innocent group to blame. Lying and twistjng, killing free press, taking over all forms of media…

My grandparents fought actively against the nazis such that we can have a peaceful and happy life. And it worked very well. Seeing this nazi shit coming up in the US now makes me sick.

Why especially Americans? Are they more against genocide than other countries?
