    The poster I replied to literally said that Germans during the Holocaust were less morally depraved than today regarding Gaza. Let that sink in. Don’t just read over that phrase, really take a second to appreciate that they typed that out.

    You ask what they’re wrong about… well pretty much everything, which he has in common with the hypothetical Dresden skinhead. Germans largely knew about the KZs and they didn’t care (or rather, pretended not to know and didn’t want to). This is actually a lie told all the time by German neonazis, that the Germans didn’t know what the regime they helped put in place was actually doing.

    There is a movie that was released about this last year which you should definitely watch, called The Zone of Interest. It might make you feel sympathetic towards Jewish people though, I understand this is sort of a no-go with some people on this platform.

    Also the whole construction is wrong (there have not been “many holocausts”) and again, this is something the extreme right will make you want to believe all the time - that it really wasn’t something that stands out in human history. I and many other posters have already pointed out why this is an enormous lie, extremely antisemitic and an extremely dangerous bending of history.
