Only *ignorant* people under 63.
And if it's just another part of history, then why bring it up and prove
your ignorance?
Oh give it a rest FFS. The nazis weren't the first genocidal state in
history and they won't be the last. Making out there were some sort of
special case is just BS. Even in the 20th century Stalin persecuted
and murdered far more people than hitler managed yet no one objects
the the word "stalinist" being used. The Khmer Rouge are estimated to
have murdered a 5th of the total population of Cambodia and god knows
what the death toll in Rwanda is up to these days.

Yeah, and don't they realise that the current totally irrelevant and
inappropriate term for people one disagrees with is "Taliban".

("Trying to prevent people being trapped in train doors? That's how
Hitler got started.")

I'm waiting for the day that someone claims that making the trains run
on time is offensive to victims of fascism, and possibly discriminates
against Abyssinians.

The other one is the constant description of passengers as being in
"cattle trucks", presumbly not meaning that they have been unable to
travel by rail since the 1970s or so, and then for export.
