Throughout my childhood and early adulthood, I could not have ever imagined Nazis marching in the streets, much less have a president say "some of them are good people" as one of them ran-down a woman in the street.
The generation older than me were World War 2 veterans. Many of them fought in that war. Nearly all sacrificed things for "the war effort". Some died in that combat - including one of my uncles. When I see Nazis marching in the street, uncriticized, I feel they are spitting on his grave.
Some of my friends growing up had parents and grandparents who immigrated to the US right after WW2 as displaced persons from Europe. Many of them still had numbers tattooed on their forearms, courtesy of the NAZI regime. I've seen several of them - as many men as women - burst out crying at the thought of it.
As an adult, I've had coworkers who spent part of their childhoods in Nazi concentration camps - with numbers tattooed on them as well. The abuse many of these people experienced was horrible. Do the current Nazis also approve of child abuse? I guess so, as many of them have been convicted of assorted sex crimes with minors - and all of the Nazi child abuse was not sexual in nature.
If we do not stop this in the bud, it is going to continue to market itself until it becomes mainstream and gets in power. Then it is too late. It won't just be people of color, minorities, non-protestants, and gays who are their targets either.

@Tom47 Indeed. This is why the ethics of medical research will not use any research using human subjects without informed consent.
Don't forget also that everything from family heirlooms to valuable artwork to gold fillings were taken from anyone they got their hands on, put into the pockets of those high-ups in the Nazi party.
