You are getting downvoted because we are witnessing the beginning of the rehabilitation of WWII Germany. Contemporary leftists view politics through an oppressor-oppressed framework and Jews belong to the oppressor class. Acknowledging the widespread, virulent antisemitism in 1930s Germany lends sympathy to Jews. In turn, this sympathy lends legitimacy to the establishment of the state of Israel. As such, Leftists are attempting to characterize Nazis and antisemitism as a minority movement in 1920-30s Germany. The end goal is to paint the Holocaust as simply one of many historical genocides, and one which is equivalent to what has happened in Palestine over the last 20 years.

You are getting downvoted because we are witnessing the beginning of the rehabilitation of WWII Germany. That's just divisive rhetoric. Nothing of the sort is happening. The end goal is to paint the Holocaust as simply one of many historical genocides, Except it isn't. You may think it's the goal that some people have. But that doesn't mean it is their goal. And anyway there's no need to "paint" the situation that way because it has been a known and obvious historical point all along. The simple fact is that there have been countless genocides throughout history. The genocide of European Jewry was definitely among the largest, and was quite distinctive in certain ways. But unfortunately it was by no means unique, or even a true outlier. This is just basic history.
