    I don’t understand what is supposed to be the offense here. It was a trivia question about world history. In the context it was clearly not an endorsement.

        They’ve been a consistent problem since the 1930s

        Yes, ignoring and not acknowledging and teaching history is a good way to not repeat it.

      Bad taste gets this kind of reaction

      Maybe there are people in the audience who would rather not be reminded of the person who murdered their family members when they’re just trying to go to a game. Treating Hitler like a distant history factoid that couldn’t have impacted anyone alive is at minimum ignorant.

        By this logic, would a question about the Soviet Union also be bad?

            No, but the analogous question would be something like “where was Stalin born”.

              It’s not possible to mention or show Hitler without invoking the Holocaust, they’re inseparable in the public consciousness. It would be like asking trivia about another genocide.

                There’s both a boatload of questions about Hitler that don’t involve the Holocaust and a lot of topics that would inherently do if you ignore that fact.

                Every question regarding the Jewish people could be seen as linked to that genocide too, just like Armenians and Rwandese. Can there be questions about those people that don’t evolve the specifics of the particular genocide.
