I grew up in the 80s and 90s, it was still very well understood that fascism, the Nazis and anything like the Nazis is just about the worst thing the modern world had ever bore witness to. I think for the younger generations, its now some distant event in the past and doesn't hit as hard. As we get closer to the point where its been literally 100 years, I fear a lot of people will view it as ancient history. Thats how we end up allowing it to happen again.
