Note however, that LePen did not say that the holocaust "should" be a detail in books about WW2. He said that it "was" a detail.

No, he was talking about an imaginary book, if he were to write a book about WW2, that's how it would be.

The hypersensitivity about *anything* having remotely to do with the concentration camps will inevitably lead to the diminishment of sympathy for 'those people' in the eyes of the rest of the world.

I recently read an article where there was an outcry because some country or other, I think it was Hungary, opened a "Holocaust Museum" that, *gasp*, actually made reference to other (i.e. some not affiliated with Nazi actions) attempted genocides and mass slaughters as "Holocausts." The outcry was that doing so 'Diminished the particular significance of the attrocities involving the Jews.'

Such whining arrogance and self-absorption tends towards becoming loathesome when you come to realize that they'll never stop talking about "it".

Le Pen has a long track record, mostly in French, much of it old (pre internet, harder to find)

Most of his FR supporters forget that these racial biases of his would be legislated. Higher pay for racially pure French, better housing, etc. And we're talking citizens here, based on their background, not immigration.

So Le Pen made some "insensitive" comments. Big deal. The Trotskyites in France and other European countries actively supported mass murder and seek to turn the entire wrold into a communist, totalitarian hell-hole. Who is worse?

While Le Pen was in the military fighting communists, the French Trotskyites were undermining his country at home. No wonder doesn't care what he says.
