If you are worried about slippery slope, you should be more worried about the reverse. This “downplaying” of the holocaust by saying “wasn’t all that “special”, and was merely a mid-20th century manifestation of what we have seen for many, many centuries ” This is what leads to some calling Jews with political differences “nazis” Holocaust education is downplayed and many of them dont fully appreciate how terrible the nazis were, it “was just a manifestation of what we have seen for many, many centuries” then it is just a Tuesday.
I have often had coworkers ask what is so “special” about the holocaust that there are museums and memorials in many cities, many suffered. So I educate them, but it is concerning when frum people don’t understand what was unique about the holocaust, and this is partly as a result of the slippery slope avoiding commemorating it.

\”A frum historian will more likely come to the conclusion”
that is very unlikely, and if you really dont know why the holocaust was “special” I’d be more than happy to help explain it to you, as I have to colleagues.
