[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, those of you making this comparison.... are you ignorant?  Or, dimwitted?  Or, are you a Holocaust denier?

[quote]No matter how much you may dislike or disagree with Trump, the warped practice of casually comparing him and other U.S. officials to the ruthless, merciless ghouls who executed 6 million souls and tortured and persecuted countless more simply for being Jewish or something else they despised is a disgrace and demonstrates massive, willful historical ignorance.

Criticizing the president is an all-American pastime, and a First Amendment right. That should not stop.

But those who resort to dimwitted Hitler references to denounce Trump embarrass themselves. Additionally, repeat a lie often enough and people begin to believe it. In a volatile age, no one knows where that might lead.

Yet the worst sin one commits with Trump-Nazi references is cheapening and trivializing the ghastly horror of Hitler’s “Final Solution” — the systematic, industrial-scale dehumanization and butchery of millions of people, the worst crime against humanity the modern world has ever seen. In case you’ve forgotten or don’t know what that is, check out the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum website.[/quote]

It's especially horrible for those of us who had a grandparent who was a survivor of Hitler.

These Democrats insult the memory of all those who perished under Hitler's "final solution" by making such disgusting comparisons. Shameful.[/quote]

There are a lot of those who survived Hitler’s “Final Solution” who are making the comparisons.

[b]What My Escape From Hitler’s Germany Taught Me About Trump’s America: ”To those who say that comparisons of Trump’s presidency to Nazi Germany are hyperbolic, I say try telling that to the mothers whose infants have been torn from their arms. A president responsible for such an atrocity exposes a level of cruelty that has no limits. None.” [/b]

[b]”I began my life with the Nazis, and now I may end my life with the Nazis,” the painter Vera Klement, an 86-year-old survivor of the Holocaust, said. It was election night in America, and as Vera and I sat in front of her TV and watched President-elect Donald J. Trump take the stage to the strains of the Air Force One soundtrack, she exhibited little shock, but rather a horrible, quiet awe.”[/b]

[b]”I asked my father, a Holocaust survivor, what he thought about the comparisons many have made between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. “Not only has my concern not dissipated, it’s grown much stronger,” my dad, Zeev, told me from his home in Tel Aviv. “I don’t believe another Holocaust is imminent. But it’s hard to ignore the similarities between Trump and Hitler.”[/b]

[b]”Knoblauch survived as a virtual slave, barely eluding the regular roundups for the Final Solution. Lies, Knoblauch tells the kids. Lies and propaganda, used masterfully by the likes of Nazi propaganda minister Josef Goebbels to smear the Jews as the source of all of Germany’s ills.
“Today, the same lies are being used against other people than the Jews,” he says to the students. “And repeated continuously.”[/b]

[b]”Ipson recalled how such hateful ideology almost killed him as a young boy. His family soon found themselves among 29,000 Jews in Kovno's locked ghetto, which was established after German troops occupied the town. Speaking just days after President Donald Trump's executive order barring refugees from coming to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries, Ipson said he saw parallels between Trump's policy and the United States' refusal to allow Jewish refugees to enter the country to escape Europe during the rise of Nazi Germany.[/b]

[b]This All Seems Very Familiar, Say Philly Holocaust Survivors [/b]

[b]“A reader letter left a strong impression on Suzanne La Rocque as she perused the March 19 print edition of the Sun:

A campaign characterized by bigotry and deception.
A candidate spewing venom and demagoguery at every opportunity.
A gullible electorate willing to blame minority citizens for perceived economic and social ills.
Adolf Hitler in 1933, Donald Trump in 2016. One and the same.

Jay resident Jim Haig submitted that letter in response to Donald Trump, the pugnacious real estate developer whose campaign for the Republican presidential nomination has drawn comparisons to totalitarianism due to the candidate’s rallies, which are being marred by physical confrontation and inflammatory rhetoric.
 
La Rocque responded with her own handwritten letter, which appears in this week’s edition. The North Creek resident called Haig’s perspective “a very fine observation.” “I am 89-years-old and an immigrant from Europe who lived with the horrors of the 1930’s and 40’s,” La Rocque wrote. “I still have the scars Hitler forced on us.” [/b]
