OP presents a great example of intelligence vs wisdom. Intelligence is knowing the Holocaust was technically worse. Wisdom is knowing that really doesn't matter here. The nuance they're talking about is pointless, especially when you consider that we didn't know about the forced labor, heinous science experiments, and systematic killing until later on.
The earlier stages of the Holocaust were very similar to what Israel is doing now. And what's scary is that they're accelerating too.
I believe we knew just not the extent.
