We are probably entering a fourth phase of the Holocaust right now.
Phase 1: Nazis conducted a mass genocide in Eastern Europe largely unknown to the West, on a huge scale of killings of Jews and Soviets led by Nazis, carried out by Eastern Europeans in 1942 then 1943.
Phase 2: Nazis found a way to mass exterminate Jews in Western Europe under the noses of the West using gas chambers in 1943 until the end of the war in 1945.
Phase 3: “ The widespread killings of Poles by Nazis primarily occurred during World War II, but there were instances of violence and persecution after 1945 as well. While organized mass killings had largely ceased, there were isolated incidents of violence against Poles, including anti-partisan operations and reprisals. Additionally, the post-war period saw the displacement and mistreatment of many Poles by various occupying forces and shifting political dynamics. It's essential to remember that the aftermath of World War II was a complex and tumultuous time in Europe.” — Chat GPT 3
Phase 4: Surviving Nazis educated their neighbours to hate Russians and Jews and other groups seen as foreign, among Ukrainians in Ukraine and the Ukrainian diaspora in UK and Canada. This is now becoming publicly known and no longer hidden as the war in Ukraine triggered a zealous revival of anti-Russian ideology and sentiments throughout the West, especially in countries where the Ukrainian diaspora settled and among their children and grandchildren. This might spread beyond Russophobia to Antisemitism as the roots of the ideology are laid bare and emboldened.
