Reading through the thread on Nazis, I've come to the conclusion that my previous opinion about the Nazis and the Jews was wrong. I am most grateful to Little Hawk for helping me to see how wrong-headed I was.

I used to think that the Nazis were evil murderers responsible for the worst mass murder in human history.

From reading Little Hawk's essay, I now know that the Nazis cannot be held responsible for the mass murders they committed. I learned from Little Hawk that Hitler and his fellow Nazis did not know that they were committing evil. They thought they had to protect society from the Jews. Since the Nazis thought they were acting for the public good, they cannot have been guilty of crime.

I also learned from Little Hawk that the Jews have committed genocide throughout history.

I am very ashamed to admit that I used to think that Hitler and his fellow Nazis were horrible monsters. I thought that only monsters could commit mass genocide on such a scale.

From Little Hawk I learned how wrong I was. From Little Hawk I learned that the Jews and the Nazis are equal.

So I thank Little Hawk for teaching me that must afford the Nazis the same respect that I've had for people who have refrained from genocidal mass murder.

Thank you Little Hawk for showing me how wrong I was in holding the Nazis in contempt. So what if they murdered my grandparents, three of my aunts and four of my uncles. So what if I never had any cousins because all of my aunts and uncles died as children at Auschwitz.

Thank you Little Hawk for allowing me to move on and to embrace the Nazis as my own. Thank you.
