We Americans would do well to remember how the Germans will never be able to clean off that stain.
We Americans would do well to remember that we already had concentration camps in the US at least twice already. Not to mention The Trail of Tears, and The Long Walk.
True, but it would be intellectually dishonest of you to imply they were equivalent in terms of horror or infamy.
Which it very much seems like you’re doing.
The term originated here. We called the ones in Germany Death Camps.
The only reason they aren’t as infamous is that we did it earlier, so there aren’t pictures and movies documenting the atrocities we committed against the natives, Mexicans, Canadians, and whomever else gets in our way.
The Nazis ran industrialized death camps. Concentration camps are horrific, but their purpose is mass imprisonment, not mass murder. There’s a reason that the Nazis are remembered with especial horror, and it’s not inferior PR.
