Of course I understand that burning books was not the worst of the Nazi's atrocities, and burning crosses is not the worst thing done by the Klan. When I see a group of people burning books, I think of the Nazis and when I see a group of people burning crosses,mi think of the Klan.

You are entitled to your opinion and gut reactions to what you see as I am entitled to mine. When I see people burning books, my reaction is disgust.
