"'We cannot forget that when Hitler came to power in 1933 one of the first things that he did was ban gay organizations,' Rabbi Eric Yoffie said."
Why not, Rabbi? You're certainly quick enough to forget that another of the things he did was ban private ownership of firearms. Not to mention the three million Catholics killed in the Holocaust.
People who practice selective amnesia as a way of life should never use the phrase, "We cannot forget," Rabbi.
People tend to forget that Hitler hated the Slavs almost as much as he hated the Jews. That includes the Poles, Czechs, Russians, etc.
Hitler reserved some of his greatest cruelty for the Russian prisoners.
