do you believe the standard, basic narrative of Anne Frank

transferred from Auschwitz to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where they died (probably of typhus)

Yes. Some allegations of edits to the diary are out there but the basic story I agree is true

Is jailing innocent citizens

Exactly what the US, like Germany, did to Japanese-americans and others? Yes

You... you forgot the 'until death part'. Marching in a band is fun. Marching until you die is not.

You're answer of 'yes' means that you consider what Germany (and the US) did to be a holocaust, which contradicts your above "'the holocaust' didn't even happen tho." But I suppose you already knew that. Congrats on the successful troll.

Marching until you die is not.

The Jews simply being deported to camps is not "the holocaust" - this included alleged absurdist stories like "gas chambers", torture devices, and "death marches" (as you describe), for which there is basically no physical or documented evidence for whatsoever. And is complete irrelevant to Anne Frank, who, as you say, died of typhus - not "marching until [she] died". Congratulations on the unsuccessful non-sequitur

Both sides in WWII committed horrible atrocities, it's not like the Nazis were saints. But they weren't comic book villains, either. The US had the benefit of basically never being attacked on their home soil or having their supply lines destroyed by enemy bombers

Err you needn't abuse that quote. It's related to the analogy, but I can if you'd like.

Also the Japanese were way worse than the Russians or Germans.
