Kristalknact was unique anti-jewish, but the holocaust was not.
No, IMO your's is an attempt to lessen the impact of 6 million of 16 million Jews being killed.
Am done, hopeless.

When did i do that? I acknowledged that a large amount of victims were Jews, even in the quote you just cited i said as much. Please be less disengenuous.
Why not just call me a holocaust revisionist as well, because thats essentially what you're doing.

An aberration of nature
So are you saying that the non jews killed by the Holocaust don't matter?

Abradley cannot grasp, for whatever reason, that mentioning both jew and non-jew alike suffered and died in Nazi concentration camps is not akin to denial or lessening the impact of said deaths.
Absolutely no one is disputing that it was a terrible tragedy, but you do seem to be trying to lessen the fact that 10 million other people were systematically murdered at the same time and in much the same fashion.
We don't say never again.
I mean, it's implied in all the remembrances, keeping alive the memory of the Shoah so that it cannot happen again.
Never again is a 9/11 thing.
According to Wiki
including the JDL slogan "Never again"
Plus Netanyahu has used it.
Invoking Holocaust and Wiesel, Netanyahu Says Never Again
No, I would say that people who reply to the 6 million of 16 million Jews were killed with 'but others died too are effective saying 'So what?'
So what?
JDL and Netanyahu are far from representing even a minority of Jews. I've gone my whole life as a Jew and have never heard anyone utter the phrase "never again" in reference to the Shoah.
We don't have a catchphrase or slogan for our remembrance of the event. We just remember.
No, it's not.
It however might mean that you are incapable of just remembering and honouring all victims of evil no matter who they are and you have an urge to turn everything into a political scoring match.

wanted to fix that.
And actually that leads into my contribution to the thread.
Common belief holds that hyperinflation directly lead to Hitler's rise. This is utter nonsense. Utter, toxic, misinforming nonsense. Hyperinflation was a short term, deliberate, and possibly even effective policy to maintain employment during the period the French seized German manufacturing for war reparations. Approx. a decade after hyperinflation came the crash of 1929 and the preceding worldwide Great Depression. The deflationary environment driven by insufficient demand (aka the opposite of hyperinflation) gave rise to the Nazis.
Why do I get the impression that this is your Evangelical Christianity speaking, given the US Protestant fixation on the Holy Land as utterly sacrosanct?
Am a Catholic.
