    I never thought I would say this...but this is a stupid 🔥🔥🔥hot take🔥🔥🔥 from the @holocaustmuseum. I hope it's the press person's words b/c I know folks at USHMM who would probably not agree. My guess is that, as a U.S. government institution they had to distance themselves.https://twitter.com/HolocaustMuseum/status/1143146670068240390 …

        There is a whole field called Comparative Genocide in which analogies and comparisons are made between all genocides, including the Holocaust. There is nothing sacrosanct about the Holocaust that prevents thoughtful, nuanced comparison.pic.twitter.com/2TbGdGMkpF

        Dr. Waitman Beorn-Now with all shots! Retweeted Auschwitz Memorial

        The Auschwitz Museum even stood up for the comparison.https://twitter.com/AuschwitzMuseum/status/1067175336184606720 …

        Auschwitz MemorialVerified account @AuschwitzMuseum
        When we look at Auschwitz we see the end of the process. It's important to remember that the Holocaust actually did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanisation & escalating violence.

        Also, I wish the museum would have stood up for its employee whose comments were LITERALLY fabricated (i.e. never written).

        As historian of fascism & Holocaust, I would also call these centers concentrations camps. As a Jewish person who lost family in Holocaust, I regret that some Republicans use memory of the Holocaust to defend racist policies of trumpism. @aoc is right. https://wapo.st/2WTq6v1?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.4b88457ff448 …

        Replying to @chrislhayes
        Chris, I think they're concentration camps. Keep in mind that one of their functions *by design* is to punish those individuals and families who are detained. So even the "charged" term is appropriate.

        Forcing desperate young parents to surrender custody of their weeping children because they were unable to comply with restrictive immigration rules is a disgrace to our great country. Such cruelty should be condemned as a crime against humanity.

        But yet...the world's premier museum on the Holocaust "UNEQUIVOCALLY rejects efforts to create analogies between the Holocaust and other events, whether historical or contemporary." That is incredibly black and white and seems at odds with its mission and our scholarship.

        Moreover, one of the fantastic programs I am fortunate enough to participate in at the Museum involves educating future military officers by...using the Holocaust as a vehicle to teach professional military ethics (i.e. analogy.) https://www.ushmm.org/professionals-and-student-leaders/military-professionals/historical-resources/instructor-resources/case-studies …
