Nah. Trying to rehabilitate Nazis leads to Nazis taking over critical institutions and going underground to pop back up a couple of generations later. Unlike our grandparents, we don't need to leave a bigger less for our grandkids to clean up.

And when most of us were "trapped in a propaganda echo chamber" the idea of cheering on masked secret police disappearing our neighbors for their skin tone or language would still have been a non-starter. Yes, they were made to believe absurdities in order to make them commit atrocities. That doesn't excuse the atrocities, nor does it make the absurdities anything other than what they wanted to believe to begin with.
