Sean,
Agree with you. What is even more ironic is that it is common to see the advent of Holocaust deniers that has become a phenomenon. These ideas are usually followed by antisemitic sentiment, and are often used to rile up the masses. At a certain point, I had to take a step back and think if there was indeed some level of hatred that has been prevalent throughout for the Jewish people, and after studying history by myself, taking this course, and seeing comments similar to your, I have to say, there does indeed seem to be something of the sort!
