I'm far more concerned about the climate in the US, and the possibility of pogroms and oppression and concentration developing. And without open discussion of the historical events that we need to draw on to learn to avoid mistakes of the past, we seem bound to repeat those mistakes. It makes me uncomfortable when accusations of 'denialist' and 'revisionist' arise so often in response to attempts to compare our present to our past. It's like there's a 'denialist' camp that's active about our present as well as our past.
