That's not what I said at all.

This person suffering from hereditary defects
costs the people 60,000 Reichmarks during his lifetime.
People, that is your money. Read ‘New People’.

There have been many holocausts, and there will be many more holocausts, but there is only one Holocaust.

The euthanasia decree, written on Adolf Hitler's personal stationery and dated 1 September 1939, reads as follows:

Reich Leader Bouhler and Dr. Brandt are charged with the responsibility for expanding the authority of physicians, to be designated by name, to the end that patients considered incurable according to the best available human judgment of their state of health, can be granted a mercy death.
Yes, the Nazis really did engage in euthanasia. Surprise!

I'm always surprised to find people like you who don't know the basics about the Holocaust. It was one of the greatest tragedies in the history of the world. How could you not know about the T-4 Euthanasia Program?

After WWII, we hung Nazis for their crimes. We didn't hang them for being Germans, nor even for being Nazis. We would not have approved of their crimes if they'd been Americans. Yet we've raised generations of ignorant children who think the Nazis were hung for being Nazis, and they never engaged in crimes which these ignorant children don't think should be crimes to begin with.

The Holocaust was wrong because of what was done, not because of who did it. The mass murder of innocents is still wrong, even if Americans do it. Blaming the victims and accusing them of bringing it upon themselves may give you false cover, but it doesn't make it right.
