4. ' dissociate the Jews from the Holocaust, or make them "background characters" '

One of the ways is to deny the number 6,000,000.

I know someone who was born in Poland shortly after WWII ended. He lives in my retirement community in Florida.

He listens to right-wing radio station that is a Polish equivalent of Fox news.

They tell him it wasn't 6 million. They say it was only a few thousand Jews, homosexuals, and gypsies.

He believes them and spouts this nonsense. He is unshakable in his beliefs.

Ironically, he's married to a Jewish woman, and all this rightfully infuriates her. (Frankly, it was a green-card marriage so he could stay in this country.)

He's also an anti-vaxxer. Why? Polish right-wing radio, of course.
