Largest US Holocaust Museum Condemns Holocaust Analogies Following Ocasio-Cortez’s Concentration Camp Comparison
By: Molly Prince, Daily Caller, on June 24, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementThe U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum condemned Holocaust comparisons Monday after Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compared concentration camps to illegal immigrant detention facilities.
“The [Holocaust Museum] unequivocally rejects efforts to create analogies between the Holocaust and other events, whether historical or contemporary,” Andrew Hollinger, a spokesman for the Museum, wrote in a statement. “That position has repeatedly and unambiguously been made clear in the Museum’s official statement on the matter — a statement that is reiterated and reaffirmed now.”
The statement was seemingly in response to an Instagram livestream where the freshman congresswoman said the U.S. government is “running concentration camps on our southern border” to hold illegal immigrants.
“That is exactly what [holding facilities] are. They are concentration camps,” Ocasio-Cortez said on June 17. “I want to talk to the people that are concerned enough with humanity to say that ‘Never Again’ means something. The fact that concentrations camps are now an institutionalized practice in the home of the free is extraordinarily disturbing and we need to do something about it.”
“Never Again” is the phrase that Jews all over the world use to make sure that the extermination between 1939 and 1945 never happens again, and the phrase signaled she was referring to concentrations camps under Nazi occupation.
The comments received massive backlash for the historical inaccuracies and insensitivity to the millions of Jews who were slaughtered in concentration camps during the Holocaust. However, Ocasio-Cortez doubled down on the claim and a host of Democratic lawmakers tried defending the freshman congresswoman.
Ocasio-Cortez later denied she was talking about the concentration camps that were utilized during the Holocaust and said there is “an academic consensus” backing up her claim.
“The Museum further reiterates that a statement ascribed to a Museum staff historian regarding recent attempts to analogize the situation on the United States southern border to concentration camps in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s does not reflect the position of the Museum,” the statement continued. “The Museum deeply regrets any offense to Holocaust survivors and others that may have been engendered by any statement ascribed to a Museum historian in a personal capacity.”
The statement also linked to an article published in December 2018 titled “Why Holocaust Analogies Are Dangerous.” In it, Edna Friedberg, a historian in the museum’s William Levine Family Institute for Holocaust Education, wrote the trend of using Holocaust comparisons is “escalating at a disturbing rate in increasingly polarized times.”
“The Holocaust has become shorthand for good vs. evil; it is the epithet to end all epithets,” Friedberg wrote. “The current environment of rapid fire online communication and viral memes lends itself particularly well to this sort of sloppy analogizing.”
“It is all too easy to forget that there are many people still alive for whom the Holocaust is not ‘history,’ but their life story and that of their families,” she continued. “These are not abstract tragedies on call to win an argument or an election. They carry the painful memories of the brutal murder of a cherished baby boy, the rape of a beloved sister, the parents arrested and never seen again.”

Right now personal thought is pointless but there are great articles out there.
AOC will respond to the criticism
– with more hate
AOC should be tied to a chair in a straight jacket and be forced to watch hours of video of the poor souls that were forced into concentration camps to either be slave labor or murdered by the sick filth that ran these camps and the liberation footages, showing the twisted pile of bodies that were once people, who were living their lives, having done nothing wrong except for being a certain ethnicity or religion. Perhaps then this ignorant imbecile might realize that her description where people have arrived voluntary and are being cared for is not a concentration camp. Although, I doubt it.
AOC is a paid actress [now documented]
– whose job it is
– to randomly vilify conservatives
– for every conceivable reason
– hate is a key component of Tyrant Culture
– ALL tyrants spew hate because it facilitates
– violence, oppression, subjugation, and genocide
– Lenin said this:
– “We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.”
– Lenin
– and ALL tyrants use hate as a tool to subjugate
– because by definition they must subjugate
– and hate is a very useful tool for that
Phuck AaaOoooCcccaa! & all her pislamic POS who voted this islamic skank into a federal office! – y’all will be hunted!
Stalin was just misunderstood
– oh wait, never mind:
SANDARMOKH, Russia — In a patch of forest deep in Russia’s north lies a burial site for victims of Stalin’s Great Terror. Between 1937 and 1938, up to 9,000 gulag prisoners were brought here by night, shot in the head, and stacked atop one another inside 236 rectangular pits that had for years been concealed among the trees…
– Putin’s solution was to throw the genocide researcher in jail

– but rest assured, tyrant AOC would never do such a thing…
“Stalin was just misunderstood”.
It sounds like a direct quote from my Commie Cousin. A cousin with who I have nothing to say or debate. Debating a Commie is a fruitless venture as it is debating a Democratic or any Progressive.
Well, maybe…
– for the sake of family unity
– perhaps politics may not be the right topic of discussion
– we all have crazy relatives
– and I have never met a family that all had the same politics
Never truer words spoken; I avoid politics with most of my extended family; unless, I am in the mood for shat hitting the proverbial fan. It isn’t worth it. I may not agree with the Leftist drivel percolating in their vacuous minds; thus far, it is known as freedom of speech. They, the Leftist, however, hold a skewed view that is is they who are afforded the freedom of speech , not those with a diverse politics or worldview.
The rule is, “Teach the teachable”
– the rest is a waste of energy
– for online comments, I ask leftists if they have read
– ‘The Black Book of Communism’ [Amazon]
– then they usually shut up and go away
Amen, ironically, I meant to ask if you had read the Black Book of Communism. It is indeed, brilliant; I loaned my copy to someone and have not seen it since. It really pissed me off. Plus, the a-hole is in San Fran, which pissed me off even more.
Maybe he burned it
– book theft is normal
– and there is a chance he read it
I sure as hell hope so; it’d lessen some of my anger, at myself for lending it in the first place.
The book can be borrowed from WorldCat.com
Thank, DR; I’ll buy it, it is an important work. When I croak, it’ll go into the bin but maybe someone will choose to read it.
No debate – just shoot on site!! Luciferian criminals!
That twunt is capable of anything – the thing is just a Taqiyya spewing POS islamist jihadist!
Exactly
– and although the Lebanese claim to be a tolerant people
– they refuse to integrate the Palis
– even though they are just Mulsims who need a home
What a bunch of insanely useless PIGS! Start by cleaning up your garbage & waste!
Glad they said something.
The comparison is particularly disgusting – not just b/c the Demokkkrats are responsible for the crisis, Obama created the procedures and egged on the invaders, the Left, both foreign and domestic, are financing the invasion, and mass-murdering and raping crime cartels are handling the business and profiting from it …
It’s particularly disgusting b/c …
Leftists take children from American citizens for all sorts of reasons. Texas has over 40k children in its system alone. Most are taken when their parents go to prison or when they’re abusive or negligent.
But many are taken for the most stupid reasons – reasons the drones would not believe.
I have taken many children from parents, and I have restored parental rights to many hapless Americans.
Anyone familiar with the system knows that separating children from American parents happens every day in every city in every state. This has been going on for over a hundred years.
… ALL CHILDREN BROUGHT TO THIS NATION BY ANY ADULT SHOULD BE TAKEN …
… AND THE ADULTS SHOULD BE ARRESTED, IMPRISONED, AND DEPORTED FOR CHILD ENDANGERMENT …
… FOR A 1ST OFFENSE. …
… ANY ADULT THAT DOES IT TWICE SHOULD BE EXECUTED.
Well stated, Dan. I hope all is well with you and yours. Have a great week, weekend, heck the whole enchilada.
Thanks Ziggy … yes, all is ‘well’ … but we have spent the last week doing storm clean up around here. I’m beat-tired, but thankful nothing serious happened. We got straight line winds in our area, though a tornado set down just a few miles away.
You and yours have an excellent enchilada!
Preferably Tex Mex, but if you have to go authentic that’s okay too 😉 …
A tall tree & a short rope for Obozo Oblamer the islamic Flamer TRAITOR!
😉
Voters who elected AOC to represent them must be cretins.
Not only that.
They are are vicious nazis and racists. There is no more a real Democratic Party, only islamic racist, communist and nazi party.AOC should be put behind the bar and deported with the whole clan
Unlike the actual concentration camps there is an exit – back to where they came from even at tax payers’ expense!. There was no exit from the Nazi camps unless one survived to see them liberated by the Russians or the Western Allies
simply dems
The left is always skilled at using loaded language to manipulate public emotion. But this time, it kind of backfired.
Since she boldly hewed, without this ever being verified, she “descends from Sephardic Jews,” every Jew
must seriously ask themself: “What, please, is Jewish about her even remotely? Is it the ray-like shape of her
nostrils? Is it the rigid gaze of her deep black eyes? Is it her strange fanaticism that she tries to make main-
stream?” None of it is even close to “Jewish”! Jews can be smart, lie, but they can’t cheat the whole world.
For me, this is a very ordinary cheater who thought she
was being courted directly to the American power center
on the “Jewish ticket”. As such, she soon had to be fully
exposed, without further discrediting Jewish community!
With such a wide mouth we all understand how she supplemented her salary as a barkeep on her knees.
This shameless liar should show her ge-
ne test! And being watched by everyone!
Jews aren’t a people, but gang of scattered loners.
There is the insane attempt to force us all together.
Officially, they claim we’re finally “one people.”
But in truth, we the curiousity about the world.
Every Jew is instinctively clear: a walled-in Jew is con-
demned to death. Why? Because we are interested in
all of you. If we can’t do this anymore, you’ll die, too.
“You still have to prove it!” We’re al-
ready testing it without you getting it.

That dumb hog needs to be removed from office before the next election cycle she along with omar & Tslab are Anti American wacko’s that hate this country & do not deserve to hold public office
The Hakenkreuz is always two cros-
sed Siegrunes (SS) at the same time.
(“order mania” = another
word for perfectionism)
What means perfectionism? What doesn’t fit is made to
fit! Form determines content. Seducers are aesthetes.
All the beautiful products in the supermarket, what
do they contain? Nothing! We want them. That’s all.
The Jewish adds something “soulful” to the German.
We don’t just need products, we also need soul food.
I said from day one that woman is dangerous.
