Well its finally done - Holocaust Memorial

[Efrem]

Alright. But when you say it should cover 'everyone', I suppose you don't mean literally everyone. Whom exactly should it cover?

[Efrem]

no one, it shouldn't have been made. There are better ways to remember things than ugly memorials.

I don't know about you, but I don't have to say sorry for the Holocaust and nobody is asking me to. And secondly, the worst political abuse of the Holocaust is by people who have an axe to grind with Israel.

I see where this victim cult is going. Like I said, everybody wants to be (or be seen) on the side of the world's victims these days. My prediction is that one day we'll have a monument to all the victims of everything, so we can all say that we're victims, or the loved ones of a victim, or the descendants of victims, or the descendants of the loved ones of the neighbours of a victim. The victims of air pollution and traffic accidents, the kids who were shot by other pupils in schools, the firemen who were the victims of flames and caving roofs - anyone and everyone will be commemorated. Nobody will have to feel guilty about anything anymore: hey, we were all oppressed! It will be a great cleansing of history, symbolised by the monument called "Memorial to all the Victims of Sumpin".

sorry but im not sure i get your point

Its sarcasm. Hes saying that people are using dramatisiations to whitewash history and absolve any guilt. Like those Ex USSR countries that are playing up red army abuses to make up for supporting the 3rd riech.
