Even published under a Jewish-sounding pseudonym this would be a bit beyond the pale. Falsely attributing it to an actual Jewish student seems to be a sort of libel even in the context an April Fools Day satire, and I hope a libel case is successfully brought.

That said, I think it is actually a contribution to the cause of preventing another Holocaust to point out from time to time the things the Nazis “did right”. Of course, this needs, both for reasons of honesty and to not cause offense, to be done in the context of discussing the parasitic nature of evil. The notion of “pure evil” is absurd. Evil, the privation of good, is only effective as a parasite on the good. Things like the “orderly employment policy” the Nazis instituted (observation of which got an Austrian politician in trouble a while back), were in and of themselves good, and it is only in the context of the twisting of virtues for evil ends that Naziism was a effectively evil as it was.
