The weird part of this is the assertion that, to honor the memory of the largest contingent of people Hitler exterminated(he also exterminated Roma-SIndhi/Traveller people/LGBTQ+ people/Slavs(and would have exterminated far more Slavs had he prevailed in the war) and Jehovan's Witnesses, whom he targeted them simply because they oppose the concepts of nations and nationalism and refuse to serve in the world's militaries- we are expected to endorse Hitler's othering tactic of labeling them "a race"- something he did solely to make the statement that they could never be considered Aryan or German.

I ask this, of those who insist on the idea that Jews must be categorized as "a race": why is it not enough, why is it not MORE than enough, to honor them as people who were exterminated simply because the society they lived in saw them as "The Other"? How is it not the height of perversity, the height of disrespect, to use the categorization that Hitler invented to justify wiping these people from the face of the Earth?

Why insist that we use of an antisemitic trope to honor those slaughtered in the name of antisemitism?

To my mind, that sounds more as if we are honoring the murderers than the murdered if we do that.
