Perhaps @WhoopiGoldberg might discuss to Ben.

No @WhoopiGoldberg, the #Holocaust was concerning the Nazi’s systematic annihilation of the Jewish folks – who they deemed to be an inferior race. They dehumanized them and used this racist propaganda to justify slaughtering 6 million Jews. Holocaust distortion is harmful. #ENOUGHhttps://t.co/koS1kuspqV
