    the German population just wants to do everything they can to prevent a repeat of what happened

    Conflicts with:

    What other bad people did in other parts of the world has no relevance whatsoever

    Do you mean: They only want to prevent genocides of a certain scale happening again in a certain area (Germany), and not prevent them globally? Because that sort of selective empathy is pretty fucked up you know?

    Do you see how your two above statements conflict right? A wrong to humanity anywhere is a wrong to humanity everywhere. No matter where, no matter when. Why would prevention in Germany be the only limitation?

      for a project that specifically puts small memorials near the last know voluntary residence of a genocide victim on German soil

        Seeing as I mentioned a WW2 memorial in Gaza, it should be pretty obvious that I’m talking more generally, and about a wider context than just this one project.
