NTA, but only if they’re ok with it. Maybe pick a different topic for now or a couple other book genres to suggest with a holocaust book, and when it comes back to you, and you’re a little more attuned to the likes and dislikes of the group, then suggest the holocaust.

My local gas station gives away a free banana with every fountain drink, which is pretty nice when they’re ripe.

Reply to eli5: when and why did cannabis become demonized in the USA? by larsattacks94
Apart from racism and prejudice, another thing that was a big factor in outlawing marijuana was the production of hemp. The owner of a paper company, and a friend of Nixon, was concerned the production of hemp, which is arguably better than paper, would cut into his profits and run him out of business. So he lobbied his friends and started a slew of campaigns against marijuana, leading Nixon to agree, I’m assuming because it was an excellent opportunity to target black communities and the hippies, both of which he despised.
