(The ETA helps.)

It's just, the way it was phrased made it look like "Holocaust victim/survivor" and "German" are two mutually exclusive categories, which people here know isn't true (I hope and assume), but a lot of people don't, so the original statement inadvertently erases these other victims (even people killed for being Jews who considered themselves German, because they had, like, one Jewish grandparent or something).

Do we know from canon (not a Marvel Reader) whether Erik and his family were religious Jews or what in his background he uses to identify himself (other than "mutant")? That doesn't excuse unthinking fans' facepalm-worthy fic ideas, of course; my main knowledge of the X-verse is from the first McKellen-Stewart X-Men movie and First Class, plus picking up things via osmosis from friends who *are* fans.
