When I was growing up, and learned in horror about the Holocaust, I thought 'Never Again' meant:

"Never again can such evil ever be allowed to happen against anyone. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it".

Yet to some absolule unspeakables, it means:
"Never again must anyone ever be allowed to call out racism, fascism, evil, note with horror where it has led in the past and where it will do so again if it isn't stopped, and cite their knowledge of Nazi Germany...

... Because doing so is SHAMEFUL and ANTISEMITIC".
1930s Germany teaches us all what can happen when a minority (in fact, several minorities) are stigmatised, demonised, utterly dehumanised.

At that very time, extraordinary proportions of the British press thought it was "exaggerated".
