She got blasted all Friday night. I’m confused. I read the article and when mentioning the holocaust, the writer speaks as if it isn’t fact that the holocaust even happened and is up for debate or something. Can someone make this article make sense for me?

But is that article basically discussing how offensive it is to use the yellow star patch and at the same time not acknowledging the holocaust even happened? I mean what’s more offensive?

May 31, 20214 yr Who knows what Snoorda is talking about. The end of the this paragraph describes what the Holocaust is - the deportation and murder of 6 million Jews. The only thing I can figure is that Snoorda took the deference to the Holocaust Memorial Center's website in the article as questioning whether of not the Holocaust happened. But the authors of the article just did that to be as precise as possible with their language - not because they were questioning whether the Holocaust happened. Quote Jewish people in Europe were legally forced to wear badges as far back as the 13th century, according to the Holocaust Memorial Center. The NSDAPs resurrected this practice, which facilitated the Jews' "separation from society and subsequent ghettoization, which ultimately led to the deportation and murder of 6 million Jews," the center's website says.

The article is attempting to give a basic history lesson and explain why it’s offensive because, you know... this is America. Lol
May 31, 20214 yr Also, the anti-vaccine crowd isn’t nearly as cool as they think they are. Unfortunately I got some extended family members in this group.

Just commenting it seemed like it was written out of ignorance and didn't seem like it was going that direction on purpose. Edit, fixed grammar, I couldn't even understand what I was trying to say. Too much beer.

Every time the holocaust is mentioned in the article it’s quoted. Like it’s not their words. Maybe I’m tripping. Carry on

Carry on Here’s how I’m guessing it went down: Editor: This part about the Holocaust is kind of awkwardly stated. Why don’t you just go to Holocaust Memorial Center’s website and quote them instead. Low-paid intern who didn’t study the Holocaust much in school: OK.

And even though the the Holocaust is a topic that has been studied and written about a lot, most journalists are trained to be journalists, not Holocaust experts. In this case it’s better to defer to experts than to say something stupid. Lol

You said he was trying it to use it as a way to teach them history or some nonsense like that, no?

Sue me as far as this yellow star patch issue goes, I think unless you are of Jewish decent you shouldn’t be using the holocaust or items from it to teach or make any point whatsoever.
