No.

You used the phrase "Gestapo-like" to illustrate heavy-handed admins.
That was entirely appropiate. The Gestapo image is one that all can
appreciate. You then used that to mention the liberation of Holocaust
survivors, a day which should receive more commemoration, rather than
less.

I was in the Holocaust Memorial Museum yesterday and was sad to see
that the place was all but deserted. A few adults and a few
schoolchildren. On such a day there should be a queue to get in.

I don't think you were all offensive. On the contrary, you made a
reference to an event which we should never forget.
