That's a very safe position to be in.
I actually know holocaust survivors one of whom (now deceased) was a Polish Catholic priest who was near death in Auschwitz when liberated. His testimony was proof that the holocaust was 8 million individual tragedies.
Right, but it wasn't only individual tragedies; it was also a cultural and national tragedy for "a people", not just "individuals." It wasn't merely a tragedy for individuals named Chaim and Jan; it was also a tragedy for Jews and Poles. You inadvertently acknowledged that yourself -- despite your claim not to admit or acknowledge anything -- by quickly pointing out that your acquaintance was not an individual with an individual name -- "Karel", for example -- but "a Polish Catholic priest". So you, too, are not blind to the reality of groups and how they were affected by the Holocaust, though for some weird reason, you believe that's it's some sort of virtue that Jews be blind.
No, my position is that each and every individual that suffered or perished was a unique tragedy. What I deny is a special victim status for any individual or group that survived. My friends name was Stephan.
