    One of my friends was saying the Soviets were covering it up because they said it was a massacre of Soviet citizens and played down that it was a massacre of Jews. And that is where the minimizing the Holocaust narrative comes in. It’s just so in the weeds I don’t care. And Blinken obviously isn’t the one trying to be nuanced.

    • The greater irony in this twisted logic is that the Holocaust happened to more groups than just Jews but here in amerikkka the version we’re taught in schools tends to not talk about how the nazis wanted to exterminate slavs or LGBT people which in of itself is Holocaust denial by omission

        or LGBT people which in of itself is Holocaust denial by omission

        The US probably doesn’t want to teach about LGBT people in the Holocaust because when the US liberated the camps they freed the Jews but they kept the homosexuals imprisoned within the camps.
