Reply To: Nazi guard scientist statues.

Seems like many people missed the point of my original post.
I wasn’t saying that slaveholders are Nazis. I wasn’t saying it is okay to tear down offensive statues. All i was saying is that we as yidden should be able to understand why a statue of a great man who also was a slaveholder might be offensive to someone whose great-great-grandparents were slaves, the same way a statue of a great man who also helped the germans in the holocaust would be offensive to us.
That doesn’t mean that the holocaust and slave ownership are equally bad.
