This is sad, not maddening. I don’t know what to say if we cannot cleanly talk about genocide—that’s what it is by any definition—in a country where you may well have spent the rest of your life in jail for writing this about that country’s government. That’s not excusing the US.

It's true as you write that for one particular historic crime, Nazis, the official German response has been acceptance (well, after being soundly defeated twice and having been forced to but I'll take it), but the racism there, *legal* & informal, can be so deep it's suffocating.

Also correction: in Germany, which you praise, and where I have family (as many Turks do!), I know people who faced citizenship denial because their very very German spouse could not prove German BLOOD from before world war ONE, where many children born there have no citizenship.
