Seems weird we have to remember the holocaust here in America at all. It didn't happen here. We aren't responsible for it. Why do we have to "remember" it?

Wow that's bizarre.

After the Ken Burns 'White Americans Did the Holocaust' documentary a while back, I got the feeling that this was the new message.

It's creepy as shite whatever it is.

I agree. I understand this would be a big deal in Israel, but America isn't Israel.
I agree it was a great tragedy, but it wasn't an American tragedy.

Since you mentioned it,

Hitler - ~6 million
Stalin - ~15 Million
Mao - ~50 Million
US Abortions (Since ~1946) ~66 Million.

I guess they just consider as a % of the population when coming up with remembrance days.

Even weirder, it is an International day that is celebrated through multiple days.

Don't they teach history in school anymore? Remember D day?

quote:

On D-Day, 6 June 1944, Allied forces launched a combined naval, air and land assault on Nazi-occupied France. The 'D' in D-Day stands simply for 'day' and the term was used to describe the first day of any large military operation.

US public opinion was alarmed by Germany's position in Europe; in addition, the bombing of London and other cities in the summer and autumn of 1940 and increasing submarine attacks on British ships aroused sympathy.

The United States entered World War II in December 1941, with the government confirming reports of the Holocaust's mass murders by late 1942. While US forces liberated several concentration camps (e.g., Buchenwald, Dachau) in 1945

Some American prisoners of war were sent to camps like Buchenwald and Mauthausen, facing starvation and forced labor.

The U.S. government took action to rescue Jews during the Holocaust until creating the War Refugee Board (WRB) in 1944. The WRB saved tens of thousands of lives through diplomatic pressure, humanitarian aid, and safe houses. Between 1933-1945, the U.S. admitted roughly 180,000–225,000 Jewish refugees, more than other nations

I don't think I've ever seen a holocaust liberator monument or memorial.

But they have holocaust museums in cities all over western civilization.

The shite is unnecessary and I say that as someone that doesn't exist if family didn't escape a camp and make it to the US front lines. We treat this crap like some tax that you have to pay to be a good person.

we did help build Hitler's capabilities. Tons of American companies helped create that military power. We should take some blame.

Because the tendency to blame others for our problems is common to all of humanity, as is the potential to commit mass murder to exact “justice”. Remembering the lessons of the Holocaust is especially important for those, like most of us, who are pushing against immigration and for mass deportations. It stands as a reminder that we should not get carried away as the nazis did.

End illegal immigration, end birthright citizenship, and deport those here illegally if we think they are not positive contributors. But stop there.
