Yep, definitely, it's just the scale of the Holocaust that's exceptional. /s

I think we're finished here.

Did you really not understand what I was saying? Do you think anti-semetism was not broadly acceptable before the Holocaust? Hitler got his ideas from somewhere. The violence during the Holocaust was tolerated for a reason. Anti-semetic officials in the United States government enabled the Holocaust to continue for longer than it could have, had action been taken.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_Holocaust

In January 1944, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Josiah E. DuBois Jr. authored a report detailing how certain officials within the Department of State had worked to prevent assistance to Jewish refugees and obscure information about the Holocaust. In response, President Roosevelt created the War Refugee Board as an independent agency to help Jewish refugees

I don't see how it benefits you to deny history. We exist in the context, etc etc
