Do Jews Talk About The Holocaust Too Much?

[Dino Velvet]

I'm not a Holocaust denier or anything like that. I realize it happened and it was evil. But, do you think the Holocaust is brought up too often?

[flabbybody]

It's beyond comprehension that Holocaust denial has actually gained traction in the last 2 decades. sorta like the lunatics who believe that 9/11 was some vast US government planned conspiracy.
Ironic that it was Hitler himself who said the bigger the lie the more believable.
anyway, I voted YES. but don't blame the Jews for bringing up the subject

I don't think they do Dino. Not at all. And even if that was the case....would it make it wrong ? When you think it's only one generation removed, one could argue it's not discussed enough !

I don't resent old Jews with tattoos that went through it talking about it. They've earned the right to talk at any time. But, if you're 22 years old and lived a good life, a little moderation might serve your purpose better. Too much of it seems like manipulation though guilt or sympathy.

Wouldn't make it wrong but the message gets watered down and less effective if it's spoken ad nauseam all day long.

ok....using that as a benchmark.....couldn't the same be said about slavery ?

Fill the new Texas stadium with people, (80,000). Gas everyone of them, and then dispose of them. Do this 75 times over a 2 1/2 year period. The way I see it, there are 6 million voices missing from the conversation, they have a right to talk as much as they would like.

Was it horrible? Yes, more then that.

But its over 2 Generations ago...

The trouble is it isn't over. Anti-semitism is still horribly alive and well. You can, for instance, buy vicious anti Jewish books all over the Middle East(not anti israeli - which is different and complex) - books like Henry Ford's diatribe against the Jews and like the Protocols of the elders of zion which are accepted as 'fact" by many many otherwise intelligent people.

Yeah, I can see how that perception could become prevalent over time. There's been a lot of atrocities throughout history. The Trail of Tears, Armenian Death March, & Rwandan fiasco come to mind as well as the Nazi Holocaust. All of those were an end result of collective fear & denigration of people for who they are instead of what they do.
