Someone whose job it is to faciliate remembering a genocide calls a group of people "fundamentally evil". Must have not ever walked into the museum.

He sees Palestinians as untermenschen.

Clearly the lessons learned weren't about how what the Nazis did should never have been done to anybody but instead were about how they should never have done it to those of a specific ethnicity.

PS: Curiously, even though the Roma people (more widelly known as Gypsies) were equally targetted alongside the Jewish people by the Nazis, you almost never see them mentioned in official talk about and rememberances of the victims of the Holocaust.
