This is what breaks my heart."
Nothing wrong with expressing such an opinion imo.
"I am not worthy to speak loudly of Adolf Hitler, nor do his life and deeds call for sentimental arousal. He was a warrior, a warrior for mankind, and a preacher of the gospel of justice for all nations. He was a reformer of the highest order, and his historical fate was that he lived in a time of unequalled cruelty, which felled him in the end. Thus the ordinary Western European may look upon Adolf Hitler. And we, his close followers, bow our heads at his death"

I can only assume you are joking. The idea that you make this comment without a hint of irony I find deeply disturbing. Trying to deny the holocaust is by the way an offence in some countries. And whilst she hasn't explicitly done that, she has come close to it. Certainly been an apologist for one of the worst mass murderers in history. "He was a warrior". He was a psychopathic narcissistic and sadistic mass murderer - that is closer to the truth.
