      It's actually an insult to holocaust survivors to call people openly shouting "Heil H*tler" and assaulting people and talking about gassing people as ones who are merely "disagreed with."

      I think the point about the use of the term “survivor” stands, though. You’re fighting the good fight here, but I agree—that word in the context of Nazis should mean something specific.

      Survivor is a term we use for people who survive violence and terror of many forms, Rachel.

          Well, you do you. We Jews don’t own the word. But when you’re talking Nazis, “Survivor” means only one thing to me, and to lots of others too.

          I guess my question would be: why is suggesting that we limit the word “survivor”—in the context of Nazi crimes—to describing those who lived through the Shoah the same thing as “writing off the experiences” of those who suffer the violence of neo-Nazi violence?

          Sorry, meant to write “who suffer neo-Nazi violence.”

          My grandfather was beaten black and blue by Nazi youth and conscripted to work in a brick laying factory until he got a visa to the US in 1940, one of the last German Jews who got out. I don’t think he ever referred to himself as a “survivor.”

          His experiences don’t have to define yours, or anyone else’s. But I imagine a lot of people who grew up around actual Shoah survivors might find the use of that word in this context problematic. I certainly do. But if you’re untroubled by that, nobody’s going to stop you!

          We can walk and chew gum at the same time. I think people can disagree civilly about how we talk about anything without it undermining the cause of liberal democracy. That is all I was trying to do here.
