Oh the irony. If anything, this just helps the perception that the holocaust was in fact the Holohoax where 6 trillion were slaughtered in gas chambers thus creating eternal victim-consciousness for one group and eternal "guilt" for everyone else. Barf!

Any Holocaust Museum belongs in the European areas where the Holocaust occurred. There is no reason to have one in Illinois, any more than to have a Wounded Knee monument in Paris.

It is a lesson on how these things happen.

And it is happening RIGHT NOW exactly the same with the vaxx demands and "passports".

But I don't think most people get the lesson, so it's a failure. Mostly.

About 70 memorials, plaques and museums, including private funded sculptures placed in parks & memorials exhibits inside other Museums, not just Holocaust Museums.

Versus:
Total Estimate: Combining documented major memorials (~25–30) with estimated local and state memorials (300–500), there are likely 325–530 WWII memorials in the U.S., including statues, sculptures, and other forms. This range accounts for national sites, state capitals, urban centers, and rural plaques, though the true number could be higher due to unlisted small memorials.

I found 741 total war memorials in Pennsylvania along according to the American Legion - I couldn't find WW2 only ones specifically - and they themselves admit they are far from logging every single one. Also many memorials combined wars, like many towns have a plaques that lists locals serving in WW2, Korea, Afghanistan, some with names going back to the Civil War, and are continually updated.

For example, which war should this local memorial be counted for?

I should also mention there are dozens of memorials just for Nisei alone in Hawaii and California as well as dedicated museums and permanent exhibits in other Museums, like a large one inside the Japanese American National Museum in LA or a smaller ones that have WW2 internment camp/Nisei Unit exhibits like in Portland, OR and there's also exhibits in several of the large federal and state WW2 museums.

Are they going to count the visitor vaccine victims as members of the Holocaust?

Nah, don't smear the Nazis by calling them Public Health Czars. That's over the top.

Huh, this is actually an interesting problem.

For example, we have an Apache helicopter in our town, but it's labelled as a "Vietnam Memorial". I'm pretty sure the Apache wasn't around in Vietnam, but it's also possible that there's a plaque about Vietnam in the same area, though it's not pictured or mentioned.

Yeah, after all, how many Americans died at Katyn that we should have a memorial on public property to it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katy%C5%84_Memorial(Jersey_City)

The Katyń Memorial is a bronze statue created by Polish-American sculptor Andrzej Pitynski in dedication to the victims of Stalin's March 5, 1940 Katyn massacre in which thousands of Polish Army officers and intellectual leaders who had been interned at Kozielsk or imprisoned at Ostashkov and Starobielsk had been killed by the occupying Soviet People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs, or NKVD. The memorial stands at Exchange Place in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States, near the mouth of the Hudson River. Unveiled in June 1991,[1] the statue depicts a bound and gagged Polish soldier with a bayoneted rifle impaled through his back. The statue stands 34-foot-tall (10-meter) and is atop a granite base containing Katyn soil. Its base also depicts a Polish woman carrying her starving child in memorial to the Polish citizens deported to Siberia that began shortly before the massacre.

...

In early May 2018, Holocaust survivor Edward Mosberg co-signed a letter asking Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop not to remove the Katyń Memorial from Exchange Place in the city, writing: "The memory of the Katyn massacre is an important part of the memory and memories of the Holocaust and we encourage you to reconsider your decision to remove this monument."[10]

Get rid of Van Goughs, Egyptian Sarcophaguses, and Melanesian War Canoes from all publicly funded Museums from LA to NY too. Didn't happen here. I don't remember the US Navy liberating Van Gough and his Egyptology collection from being kidnapped by Melanesian head hunters. That's all Old World crap that had nothing to do with us.
