alt Hacker NewsI went through German school, did the mandatory trip to Buchenwald, met Pavel Kohn in person and i think you are making shit up.
What if US people are less hesitant to make those comparisons because they know less about it?

In Germany it's illegal to compare things to the Holocaust, even if they are like the Holocaust, even if they are literally a second Holocaust. A politician couldn't run on a platform of "we'll do another Holocaust" (they'd be arrested) but could run on a less specific statement like "we'll eliminate the useless eaters to make Germany strong, sending them Aut to Schwitzerland" and you would be arrested for pointing out how Hitlery that implication was. You might get cleared of charges by the court... six months later.
