How will the holocaust be remembered after the last survivor dies?

The only objective basis of morality is ability to suffer and the will to live, and science tells us that we need to attribute these to animals to all but the same extent as we do to humans. Yet any marginal differences there may be between humans and animals get blown out of proportion to allow us to justify our continued exploitation of these creatures, just like the marginal differences between Germans and Jews were blown out of proportion to justify any mistreatment of the latter.

Preachiness in reality does not actually make bare assertions even the slightest amount less bare.

But I can understand how, to the self-righteous caught up in the intoxication of their self-righteousness, didactic tone would seem to go a long way towards mitigating the flaws and improving the pursuasiveness of their arguments.
