Additional spoiler, the Holocaust.
Did not Florida forbidden some Holocaust related children book about year ago?
I’m…not sure that counts.
Jews were forced to labor for the Nazis. How was that not slavery?
It wasn’t a “book”. It may have had many books written on it but that wasn’t the original statement.
Does the Holocaust count as slavery or not?
That was not the point I was making so it doesn’t matter.
That’s quite the evasion of a yes or no question.
Usually you think of the extermination aspect, but yes there was some. But my point was that responding to me saying another book containing slavery with a historical event was kind of unusual. There’s been books written on it for sure by it’s mostly unrelated.
