The most famous forms of Holocaust denial and revisionism tend to focus on Jews, casting doubt, for example, on how many were exterminated in the camps. But denying the impact the Nazis had on the other groups they targeted, including queer and trans people, disabled people and Romani people, is still Holocaust denial. Maybe someone should tell J.K. Rowling.

    None of that has anything to do with the idea that gradually ending genocide is anything but abhorrent.

    The fact that people do abhorrent things doesn’t make things less abhorrent.

    And gradually ending the Final Solution, slowly killing fewer and fewer Jews, is a monstrous idea. But that’s what ‘gradual’ means.

      I wrote a lot of stuff, but then I realized I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say.

      Are you speaking exclusively about the idea itself or the circumstances of the past?
      Because if you’re talking only about the theoretical idea, then I agree with an immediate stop or prevention.

      But if you’re talking of the circumstances of the past, I was pretty much wrapped up in the details of realistically trying to reduce the losses. Couldn’t figure out what magic way you wanted for the allies to save them sooner.
