Assuming that this sentiment is replicated in the book itself, you'd need no further justification for avoiding the book. Germany started the war, and initiated its worst horrors. Whatever was done to it was as a result of that, and to prevent Germany doing it again. And how anyone thinks that commemorating the holocaust 'unbalances' the view is beyond me; Amongst all the brutality of the regime, this was its worst feature. For any author to argue otherwise automatically destroys his credibility in my view.
