"Hitler did not speak publicly about the killings, and seems never to have visited the concentration camps."
A quote lifted directly from wikipedia, which seems well sourced from this text:

So, it seems as if Hitler did not actually ever physically attack any of the people he persecuted. He simply instituted policies which led to the genocide of millions. Completely different.
Lets be real. People like you are why Hitler rose to power.
"Oh, there is no way he actually means to kill every single jew."
"They're just words, he wouldn't actually start a global war just to start eradicating the races he hates. He's just saying that!"
"See, they're just separating our neighbors out and sending them away, to make sure that no enemies of the state are hiding among them! Sure is funny how they are all jews, though... I think I remember something about that. Whatever!"
Fucking hell. Your belief that all beliefs are fine is so dangerous. Yes, thought crime is awful, but when you have people believing that they are superior simply because they have white skin, and that everyone with differing views and skin color should die, simply because they are different, a line has to be drawn.
When there is someone in the streets willing to talk about how much they hate jews, blacks, and all the shades in between, up until he gets knocked out, that is incredibly scary to me. This is not thought crime. This is proclaiming to the world that "Yes, I am a Nazi, and I do not give a fuck what anyone else thinks of that". Letting them do that is a travesty to every single life lost in WWII.
WE WENT TO WAR WITH THESE PEOPLE, BECAUSE THEY WERE PUTTING THEIR BELIEFS INTO ACTION. Sure, the US didn't join the war until Pearl Harbor, but we were still supporting the Allies through trading. Letting them even have a chance to put their beliefs into action again is fucking stupid.
Many European countries outlawed both the promotion of Nazism and Holocaust Denial. I agree with that. Letting it fester will bring nothing good to the world.
This man we watched knew exactly what he was doing. He was riling people, he was looking to make people angry. Look at his body language. Everything up until he held his hand up screamed "Come at me". He was looking for a fight, but he was not prepared for it. Have you heard of the concept of "Fighting Words"? It is a legitimate legal term.

He swung first, with his words.
But hey, I'm just a cynic. You don't have to listen to me. The world does need some idealism.
