Holocaust trivialization is the downplaying of the Holocaust, the state-controlled mass-murder of over ten million innocent civilians, usually by creating false equivalencies between the genocide and events whose atrociousness is magnitudes less. Trivialization of the Holocaust is considered to be a prominent form of antisemitism because it mocks the suffering and deaths of millions of innocent Jews.
Neo-Marxist leftists, who senselessly invoke Godwin's Law, frequently make outlandish Holocaust comparisons. For instance, progressive leader Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compared strict border policies in the Trump era to the Shoah, a remark condemned by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.[1]
