As a Jewish person, I am extremely sensitive to those that inappropriately reference the holocaust. I stumbled across this vulgar young man doing just that on Facebook and I had to share.
Jeffrey “likes” Christian– Nothing wrong with that. Jeffrey breaks up with his girlfriend after a lovely day at the mall. Jeffrey takes out his anger on Facebook relating his bad day to a Jewish person during the holocaust. Jeffrey gets back together with his girlfriend and is soon back at the mall. Let’s compare Jeffrey to a Jew during the Holocaust. The Jews were the main victims of the Holocaust because they were hated the most by the Nazis because Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany’s defeat in World War I. Their triangle was yellow, and it had a “P” on it. Many people who were Jewish but never considered themselves to be a Jew (they considered themselves Germans) suddenly became a target of the Nazis. German Jews weren’t allowed to go to theaters, swimming pools, and resorts. Jews had to carry identification cards around with them, and they always had to wear a Star of David badge everywhere they went.

There was a time called Kristallnacht, when the Nazis burned down synagogues, places where the Jews practiced their religion, and they destroyed Jewish businesses and homes. Jewish children were not allowed to go to school anymore. The Jews had curfews for how late they could be out, and then they weren’t allowed in public places. Finally, Germany started kicking them out of the country. The next step for the Nazis was to send the Jews to concentration and death camps. About six million Jews died for one simple reason: they were Jewish. At these camps, the treatment was extremely harsh and cruel. Every person there was either sick, starving, dying, or a slave laborer. They would die in many types of ways, like starvation, sickness, a machine gun, or overworking your body. Some people were even told that they were going to take a shower, but they were killed. They were tricked, and they actually went into a gas chamber. They died at all different ages, but the Nazis didn’t care
Here is Jeffrey:
It doesn’t look like there is any starvation going on there…
