Yeah, I get that. What you feel is probably close to what Jews early on during nazi power felt when seeing a stormtrooper. “They mean me harm. “

But today, for us the children of holocaust survivors, seeing real nazis (on film) is different. My revulsion is based on that they DID murder my elderly great grandparents and so many members of my family and their friends. They gave my great grandparents, three of them, Vernichtungsdaten. Extermination Dates. They didn’t just murder them. They considered these beautiful loving people in my photos about whom I’ve heard so many good stories, lower than human, about the same as a cockroach. Extermination. I don’t know if there is a word for the revulsion and hate I feel.

Your feelings of hate and revulsion toward the Nazis are very much like my post-9/11 feelings toward Mudslimes, which are enirely based on what they deliberately did with no provocation and what they hungrily want to do to us.

I’m sorry for the loss of so much of your family. It’s important to remember that five million non-Jews were put to death too. Also never forget that the ‘’Nazis’’ weren’t some thing that just fell out of the clouds one day into Germany. The Nazis were Germans. But most of all we must never forget the millions of every race and creed who perished in the horror of The Holocaust and we always remember and honor the sacrifice of millions more who gave so much and who fought so heroically to put an end to it.
