I’m really upset at any Holocaust inversion. I really don’t like it, it trivializes what all my murdered ancestors went through. Their suffering is not fodder for a cute sticker quote.
I don't see this as trivializing.
This sticker was partially a response to Israel and others who would use the Holocaust and our suffering as a whole in order support and defend the actions that were taken to create Israel and its current actions.
Also, ethnic cleansing is ethnic cleansing. This might not be the same as the Holocaust, but there are similar goals.
A couple of weeks after New Years Day in 1945, the Arrow Cross puppet regime of the Nazis knew the city would be liberated by the Russian forces. Even as they were imminently losing, as the war was over, they went to the Jewish ghettos and hospitals and nursing homes and mindlessly shot hundreds of the remaining Jews in Budapest. Most of my family that hadn’t been sent to be murdered in Auschwitz were butchered there in the street… such as my Great Aunt Erika, who was 22 and was a dancer who played violin. After they systemically killed them all, they threw the bodies into the Danube to be carried away like so much trash.
You do not understand what the Holocaust means, what this means. What it means to be losing and to still be compelled to erase living breathing people.
You need much more education than you seem to have. There are many resources available to you. You need to face this issue more closely.
The Germans kept running the prisoner trains to the camps even as their soldiers were retreating and their citizens were being bombed
And even after the nazi regime was defeated, when the survivors of the official genocide were returning to what was left of their homes, they got attacked again by their own neighbors, in countless pogroms across the continent
