This article is about about the final stage of The Holocaust, Nazi Germany's genocidal policy to exterminate the Jewish people. For other uses, see Final Solution (disambiguation).
In a February 26, 1942, letter to German diplomat Martin Luther, Reinhard Heydrich follows up on the Wannsee Conference by asking Luther for administrative assistance in the implementation of the "Endlösung der Judenfrage" (Final Solution of the Jewish Question). English translation
The Final Solution (German: Die Endlösung) was Nazi Germany's plan and execution of its systematic genocide against The Jewish people during World War II, resulting in the final, most deadly phase of the Holocaust (Shoah). Hitler termed it: "the final solution of the Jewish question" ("Endlösung der Judenfrage")[1]
Mass killings of about one million Jews occurred before the plans of the Final Solution were fully implemented in 1942, but it was only with the decision to eradicate the entire Jewish population that the extermination camps were built and industrialized mass slaughter of Jews began in earnest. This decision to systematically kill the Jews of Europe was made by the time of, or at the Wannsee conference, which took place in Berlin, in the Wannsee Villa on January 20, 1942. During the conference, there was a discussion held by a group of German Nazi officials to decide on the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question". A surviving copy of the minutes of this meeting were found by the Allies in 1947, too late to serve as evidence during the first Nuremberg Trials. By spring of 1942, Operation Reinhard began the systematic extermination of the Jews, although hundreds of thousands already had been killed by death squads and in mass pogroms. In Heinrich Himmler's speech at the Posen Conference of October 6, 1943, Himmler, for the first time, clearly elucidated to all assembled leaders of the Reich, in frank and brutal terms, what the "Final Solution" referred to.

Here's an idea:
How about everyone start concentrating on facts and the evidence presented, rather than continue to wax eloquent about the lessons we should learn from history and Nazi Germany.
Learning from history is all well and good; however, ignoring the present facts and running rampant by picking the most drastic moments of history is not learning from it--it's exploiting it.

If you don't want to fear monger, then drop the comparisons with Nazi Germany, or start using facts to justify the comparison.
It's just that simple.
