The Lubavitcher Rebbe did not want the Holocaust emphasized. He preferred to promote a positive Jewish identity that did not diminish whites and other groups.
When the Holocaust is invoked in the West, it is usually to promote anti-white interests in the name of tolerance and multi-culturalism.
Needless to say, the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson had nothing to do with the Holocaust and any comparison is obscene.
NEWSWEEK: Hedy Epstein turned 90 on August 15, and she spent much of last week celebrating. Friends and family traveled to her home in St. Louis, Missouri, to join in the festivities—so many of them, in fact, that it wasn’t until yesterday that she finally had a day to herself. Epstein left her home in the afternoon, accidentally leaving her cell phone behind. By around 4:30pm, she’d been arrested.
A human rights activist and Holocaust survivor, Epstein had been following the unrest in nearby Ferguson, where an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, was shot and killed by police on August 9.
