In post-Communist eastern Europe, they’re trying to play down the crimes of the Nazi cooperators and claim that the crimes of the Communists were just as bad, and that both of them committed genocide.

How does showing the Communists' crimes "were just as bad" as those of the Nazis lessen the Nazi crimes? It should show that the Communists were at least as psychotic as the Nazis. The Communists were able to kill millions more than the Nazis because the Communists usually weren't fighting wars (directly at least) while killing their own citizens on an industrial scale (e.g., Stalin and Mao).

Stalin was very anti-semitic as well, he had most of the original Jewish Bolsheviks bumped off.

Sounds like the same logic someone in Hungary used on Ben Kingsley when that actor was taking a break while making a movie about Simon Wiesenthal. The Hungarian said this after finding out the subject matter:

“It (the Holocaust) never happened, and if you don’t shut up, it will happen again!”

People really are brought up with doublethink.

There’s a podcast I listed to called Hardcore History, and he occasionally talks about what he calls “The million-way tie for the worst thing in human history.”
