[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we assess the Holocaust we have to consider the Nazi  ideology that was behind it -   not what people you run into today think or what the standards of America in 2022 are. [/quote]

THIS x1000.  Regardless of whether being Jewish is a race, the Nazis viewed it as a race.  https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/victims-of-the-nazi-era-nazi-racial-ideology

It was racially motivated genocide.  It was about race.

Remember--race is a construct.  The Nazis constructed a Jewish race just as America racism constructs a black race (see Caste by Isabel Wilkerson).  [/quote]

See the following in the link:

"While it classified Jews as the priority “enemy,” the Nazi ideological concept of race targeted other groups for persecution, imprisonment, and annihilation. These groups included Roma (Gypsies), people with disabilities, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, and Afro-Germans. The Nazis also identified political dissidents, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, and so-called asocials as enemies and security risks either because they consciously opposed the Nazi regime or some aspect of their behavior did not fit Nazi perceptions of social norms."

It was about Race--the Nazi version of "Race".[/quote]
