I have read a lot about the Holocaust. I have been to Dachau Concentration Camp in Germany. I have visited Holocaust museums in Jerusalem, and Washington, DC. I have watched movies and documentaries and spoken with a survivor. I saw the number tattooed on his arm. (This is one reason I never wanted a tattoo.)
The Holocaust is awful, painful, horrible. It is a hard subject to know about and to wrap one's head around. How could anyone treat another person like that? How could it have happened? How? It is beyond belief.
But, today, in this country, fascists under the guise of being conservatives are bandying Hitler and the Holocaust around comparing everything from requesting that people be vaccinated, to vaccine proof, to wearing masks to the Holocaust. It is beyond belief. It is horrifying that murdering millions, starving babies, gassing whole villages to death, experimenting on humans is being equated to a vaccine and actions to save people's lives.
Clearly, there are many people who really don't know much about the Holocaust. Clearly, there are people who need better educations. Clearly, some people "be" crazy.
