You're judging the end phase with the beginning phase. So of course it isn't going to be 1 to 1.

I am not judging the end phase. Or the beginning. I am bringing a different perspective into the discussion.

When we think about concentration camps, we think about 1.1 million murders. We think about horrific conditions. We don't talk about the earliest prison style camps.

So, if a german tells you that is offensive to him, he has reasons for it. Pn the other side, in the context of the American population, it is edgy but not over the edge.

Perspective is everything

Perspective is that a Holocaust isn't 1.1 million deaths. Death camps aren't either. These places have existed throughout human history run by tyrants. Pol pot just killed them in the fields. You do not have the patent on it because you are German and have been made to understand and feel terrible about your history. A Holocaust is happening in Palestine right now. A Holocaust is beginning in America. Denying it because millions haven't died yet only allows it to continue and to perpetrate the belief that everything is ok. Waiting until they're all dead ensures yet another occurence.
