The Holocaust is not, unfortunately, a singular or unique event in human history. The Holocaust was simply the most organized and the most well publicized event. The reality of human affairs is that once power is concentrated in the hands of a few, millions will suffer.

The rise of Hitler came out of the ruins of Germany after the first World War, which was coming close to an amicable resolution until Wilson successfully manipulated public opinion in the U.S. to believe intervention was necessary. This intervention lead to the collapse of the Czar in Russia (which was not an admirable regime, but much better the Soviet empire that rose after the Czar's fall,) the complete loss of the Germans (which lead to onerous terms of surrender,) and the destruction of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (which despite its flaws was a very sophisticated and tolerant society.) Intervention does not necessarily lead to positive results. When foreign governments begin poking their nose into the problems of other nations only more problems will arise. Iraq being a good case in point, we had no idea how that society had evolved and no idea how to deal with the multiple elements of that society when we did get involved; now there are more problems and many of the assets needed to defeat actual enemies are being sidelined in Iraq.

As for the roleplaying of Nazi concentration camps, not my thing at all. Free speech, however, is free speech. If that is what somebody gets off on, that is their issue (assuming it really is an issue) to deal with. Their fantasies should not be supressed because some find it tasteless. No ones tastes or moral codes are necessarily correct and should not be imposed upon others.
