"For modern Westerners, the story of the "Holocaust" and World War II has become their foundation myth. It fulfills all three functions:
1. We live in the "Post-War World". The lines on the map, the institutions, the sense of what era we live in, all arise from the starting point of World War II.
2. Ultimate evil is the Nazis. Ultimate good is opposing the Nazis. The values derived from these definitions are anti-racialism, equality, "diversity", anti-nationalism, and so on.
3. The only thing that is held sacred, that cannot be denied or mocked in the contemporary West, is the Holocaust. And by law throughout most of Europe.
The problem is that all three functions are backwards or negative. Instead of the origin event being one of fertility and new life, it's a conflagration of death and destruction. Instead of the ultimate good taking the central position in the story, that slot is occupied by ultimate evil. Everyone knows that Adolf Hitler, the perceived personification of evil, holds the center point of the World War II story. Instead of that which is held sacred being something mysterious and sublime, it (the Holocaust) is an obscenity. Having a negative foundation myth means that the tree of life for Westerners is poisoned. This is by design"
