Sadly, this generation is the most ignorant as it applies to history. They have little to no interest in what happened before, during and after WWII, the most transformative event in creating the global conditions we have seen for 80 years.
These kids could take a few hours and watch numerous documentaries on Netflix rather than watching another few hours of Reality TV and learn about it, it is all there at the click of a button, but few do. I am one of the few. All good we have today is because of the victory in WWII and it is vital in my opinion to learn about this period as much as one can, it illustrates the depravity of men, but also the courage of the righteous.
Don't forget that Hitler met with Islamic leaders during his time and it was recorded that they would welcome Germanies efforts to murder all the Jews and it was Hitler who told the Grand Mufti that no Jew would be allowed to survive in Palestine. The Mufti then desired a public statement from Germany for this but they declined, stating they would do so at a later date when in a more advantageous position. Without question, most of the Islamic world supported this genocide, though some truly religious followers of Islam rightfully rejected the murder of innocent people regardless of their religion.
Initially, Germanies plan was "simply" to have the Jews leave the country. To where? That in itself is despicable a demand. A fateful 90 minute meeting between his closest allies in Germany sealed the horrific genocide that would follow which is known as the Final Solution.
That is how quickly history can change when you have evil people in charge. There is a fascinating documentary on Netflix about how the general public, the average Joe, came to support this evil at times and at times, normalize it. In Eastern Europe in particular, participate in it through police agencies and the like. Now, this is not a direct comparison obviously, but consider the Groupthink and reaction of the public during Covid. When going after Trump and Russia, Russia.
The same people that has influenced and molded institutions and policies are the same who demand the shutting down of dissent. They have in fact, created all of the Woke and climate extremism. With this "nazi-like" demands to get in line or be destroyed, they have created their own neo-nazis...this time on the far-left, which has much in common with the far-right in terms of fascist impulses.
What we are seeing today is the increasing normalization of the hatred of Jews and America, make no mistake about it. We may not see another Holocaust as long as the U.S can remain solvent and sovereign, but there are NO guarantees this will remain the case in our lifetime.
What happens if America and the West fail? What will follow around the world?
This isn't alarmism, this is history potentially repeating itself.
