Merely to have children and teach them about the holocaust is
not revenge on Hitler unless the children are raised to be observant.  The
Germans made war specifically on rabbinic Judaism.  The Germans did not
molest Karaites or Samaritans who came under their control.  Hitler did 
not simply kill people but also wiped out a culture that was different,
more beautiful, and superior to European culture.

If a Jewish parent raises his child as a secular American of Jewish origin
or background, this parent guarantees that his descendents at the forth or
fifth generation will be non-Jews who may be among the Jew-baiters and
persecutors of that age.  To raise Jewish children as secular Americans is
national suicide and gives Hitler a posthumous victory.

According to my maternal grandfather, Hakam Hassan Ajemi az-Zanzuri,
assimilation into Euro-American society is particularly disgusting for
Ashkenazim whose ancestors were subject to centuries of persecution by
European barbarians. He attributed the rapid assimilation of American
Jewry to the low class status, ignorance, and vulgarity of the Jews who
immigrated to the United States of America before 1920.  American Jews
will only be able to transcend their ignominious origins through Jewish
learning. Unfortunately, even though American Jews have more opportunities
for serious Jewish learning than any other Jewish community in history,
American Jews are perhaps the most Jewishly-ignorant Jews in history.
