One of the big downsides to pretending 100% of Holocaust victims were Jewish is that the 50% who weren't were sent to the camps for other reasons.
Like being Trans, or any other kids and of LGBT. The problem was even "the good guys" were anti-lgbt back then, just look at how they treated their war heroes:

And then America, who had taken in all types of Nazis scientists, denied Turing entry just to fucking take a vacation.
I think this is why so many people are shocked by trump winning, people actually believed Americans were inherently good, and they believed it.
Keep in mind that the incoming administration and it's cultists don't seem to be interested in distancing themselves from Hitlwr and his Nazis.
They've distanced themselves from the optics, but not the principles. They think that by not flying swastikas everywhere that somehow that's different enough to pass.
I made an unfortunate typo that changed the meaning of my comment.
What I intended to say (and have now fixed) was : "don't seem to be interested in distancing themselves".
Nobody is pretending. They aren't taught about the other 6 million people at all.
Fwiw Jews made a pretty big deal about making sure everyone remembered, and look where we're at when Atlas shrugs for the length of an upward mobility. I think it was making a difference and necessary in the face of a decades-long dismantling of the public education system.
Edit: also.. why did you have to frame it about "the Jews" instead of "the problem with people not learning 12 million total people died and queer folks were at the top of the list"
Also, validation, yup.. I know boomers that were "progressive anti racists" and beat up queer people
