J pilling my boomercon parents, instead of saying jews, I say Pharisees. I call them by their biblical names because I know they will automatically associate them with Christ killers.
I'm hoping to InCrEaSe AwArEnEsS (gay and cringe term, I know) by illustrating the pattern. I figure if I can increase the noticing, I can seque into breaking down their support for Israel.
I doubt I can ever fully break the conditioning enough to accept the truth about WWII, but I think I can melt some of the ice.
Ask why no encyclopedias written in the 50s (just 5 years after the end of the war! ) 60s or even seventies mentioned the Holocaust or the systematic killing of jews.
Ask them why Jews would write and appear in a comedy about silly German opponents in the hit TV show Hogan's heroes if Germans had actually killed six million people. Why would one of the actors who actually had a tattoo on his arm because he was in one of the prisoner of war camps in Germany would agree to appear in a show that made light of Germans if they had actually killed all those people.
Ask them why the term Holocaust was never used for anything other than a large fire until the TV miniseries movie called The Holocaust appeared in 1976 or thereabouts starring Meryl Streep and for the first time making the claim publicly the Germans had systematically killed Jews and attributing the word holocaust to that process. Look at the entry under the imdb.com database for the movie The Holocaust
