International Holocaust day today.

What happened in WWII should never be forgotten, and it never will be forgotten. But in context, Musk's comment “Children should not be guilty of the sins of their parents, let alone their great grandparents,” is difficult to object to.

You know where I stand with my sympathies and I don't find it objectionable, Germany has paid billions in reparations to Israel, as far as I know they're still paying, they also bear a huge national guilt, I don't think their children and their children's children should carry on bearing that guilt.
The 6 million should be commemorated and remembered, and left at that.

If that is what it actually means, then I totally agree. I think mine was more of a gut reaction to a far right provocateur speaking to a far right group and I was probably worrying deep down that it was actually code for something more sinister.

When I have met younger Germans over the past forty years or so, the Holocaust, and the thought that they should feel guilty, has never even entered my head.

Shhh. Don’t mention Holocaust memorial day that people from the state of Israel suffered greatly from. Not even one crocodile tear from the forum state of Israel haters on behalf of their population. Oh well, only to be expected. Too busy gloating about a gang of white paedos being in the news…..

I wonder why F.Boy liked that comment so much - is it because it's not true?

In context? Adolf Musk was addressing the German far right you dolt. The organization (AfD) that blurs itself with Neo Nazis with mild reluctance.

Yesterday I listened to radio 3 who were broadcasting live from auschwitz, its so haunting

what is so shocking is that this happened in modern Europe, not in medieval times


Its worth noting that America has a strong enough democracy to stop this happening under Trump, but he would if he could get away with it

We have learnt nothing from past atrocities, absolutely nothing. Just look at the conflicts taking place today, the parties that are gaining in popularity across the globe etc.

Hard fought for freedoms and all that. Don't think they can't be lost/revoked.

Any idea when Trump intends carrying out this holocaust in the US?, I'll put a note in my diary.

It's a ridiculous notion. His Lucidity seems to be less and less frequent. Maybe its time to get social services involved.

I watched the ceremony on BBC 1 yesterday afternoon.

Can't imagine how those survivors feel .............

Why there is any hatred between religions is beyond me

It's simple...

They all claim that their imaginary friend is better than all the other imaginary friends...

But religion was meant to be a control mechanism, which it still is!

All of them.
