ignoring them just feels incorrect from a historical perspective. There's a reason we're taught the things we are. -- (edited)

The reason there is memory is so we can recognize similar situations that arise and react different than in the past. Something truly horrific happened, on a species level. In looking at how it happened we have to determine how it occurred and not react (or not react) in the same way.
There's a reason Eisenhower forced surrounding towns people to walk through the camps. Those were the people who either ignored the situation or more likely, internally acknowledged the horror and did nothing. Granted, by the time it got to that point it was too late...
Hitler's first speech had approximately 50 people in the audience. Imagine what would have happened had 100x that number showed up in opposition and did that every time.
I have to believe these malignant people are in the minority in the extreme. They need to be felt that way. That they are not the consensus opinion.
