I don't want to cause anyone pain, intended or not. That's always been my goal. While I have not received any complaints from any World War II survivors or close relatives of them (of which I am, as well) about this, I feel like discussing this topic on Shared Weight is not going anywhere. So I won't so so anytime soon.

If you are a World War II survivor, please contact me privately and I will apologize to you if I've caused you pain.

Sincerely,
Ron

Thank you, Michael.  The term for the WWII tragedy still evokes a lot of pain for those who survived it and their descendants, and hopefully will have no further use in a forum devoted to dancing -

Maybe you do.   No one else uses such  bizarre logic.  
Conbtradancers as a group are about as left of center  and non-discriminatory in their beliefs as any non-political group gets.
Your suggestion is absurd
