So you believe that Hitler would have been just a garden variety
despot if the Jews hadn't "demonized" him.

What an interesting perspective you all have. One would imagine
that the mountains of ashes and bones, the fields that stretch
far and wide, dotted with pits stacked with emaciated corpses,
the many films and photos and records compiled by the Germans
themselves, let alone the allied forces, would have provided
enough evidence to render Hitler quite unique in the view of the
world.

What you are saying, and this may be true for all I know, is that
only the Jews would care about this. Nobody else would bat an
eye.

Or perhaps you're just saying that you, personally, don't care
what happened?
