This is just pathetic. In New York it’s nearly 1 in 5. Our education system is terrible, but this happened because teaching Jewish history, WWII, and European history doesn’t happen at all in American schools. Antisemitism hit record levels in recent years. The total lack of recognition of “Jewish” as a separate ethnic identity (as opposed to the ridiculous and dishonest ideas of “white Jews” or “Jews of color”) is part of the reason why both are happening. Bigoted Jewish stereotypes are becoming normalized (again) because there is very little being taught that is authentically Jewish. The result is ignorance.

MENKEN: AOC Is Dividing Americans And Inciting Anti-Semitism

After Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) used “concentration camps” and “Never Again” together — a unique reference to the Nazi death camps — and then retweeted leftist Jews hoping to justify the linkage while she simultaneously denied that she ever connected them in the first instance, I honestly thought it couldn’t get worse.

Do people even comprehend why so many of us take this so seriously? Jews, especially over the past few years, have been subjected continually to a rising barrage of antisemitism, physical attacks, an anti-Israel movement that uses propaganda to increasingly mainstream the lie that anti-Zionism is not antisemitism, and a never ending exploitation of OUR history to legitimize any number of political agendas. The reason why the Simon Wiesenthal Center, Yad Vashem, the Auschwitz Museum & the US Holocaust Museum stepped in is because hijacking the language of the Holocaust has been a tool of Holocaust deniers for a very long time. So whether people defending "AOC" understand this or not, there is NO valid use of Holocaust imagery absent literal genocide. That is exactly why no one had a problem applying Holocaust imagery to Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia etc., however applying that imagery to detention centers run by the United States, only serves to trivialize the absolute nightmare of genocide.

AOC knows this, so does Ilhan Omar. The fact that some Jews, unfortunately, agree with them is a sign of their own devotion to ideology or ignorance of the Holocaust, and our own history (unfortunately, neither is unusual), NOT evidence of authority on the subject. Being born Jewish, or having relatives murdered during WWII, does not automatically imbue you with an authoritative understanding of the Shoah or anything else. Legitimate criticism of the border situation deserves a serious public discussion, you can do that without appropriating the worst genocide in human history, and more importantly, without exploiting the memory of its victims.

Concentration Camps? Stop Hijacking Jewish History | The Jerusalem post

US media has now joined the debate about concentration camps.

“The agenda in the US is clear: in order to critique the current administration’s policy, a term often associated with Auschwitz and the murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust has been appropriated to score a few political points. In a few months there will be a new controversy, and Jewish history will be hijacked again in a US debate to fit the narrative of whatever group needs to conjure up the Nazi era for their own benefit.

Increasingly in the US every day, the Holocaust is watered down and universalized in order to become an American event. Last year the former National Security Agency and CIA head Michael Hayden compared the US separating families at the border to Auschwitz.”

And, in fact, Poles continued to murder Jews even AFTER the war ended. This is just one more piece of proof that Europe's inherent antisemitism has never waned, it was just better hidden for a few generations. Poland is just as disgusting as ever.

"Now, the next generation has an important lesson about the Holocaust of our people, and I will ensure that they learn it,” he said, adding that the decision by the Polish government “has a role to play in Holocaust education, even if they intended it to achieve something else.”

"The Polish bill would impose up to three years of jail time for using the term “Polish death camps,” when describing such death machines as Auschwitz and Treblinka, or for implying complicity of the Polish nation in the Nazi murder of millions of Jews and other minorities during WWII."
