Following Kanye West‘s appearance on Alex Jones’ Infowars on Thursday, which saw the rapper and designer deny the Holocaust and praise Adolf Hitler, members of the Reddit community r/Kanye have begun posting facts about the Nazi leader’s campaign of extermination.

The surge in posts with information about the Holocaust began soon after West’s interview after one user encouraged transforming the space into a “Holocaust remembrance sub.” Many posts followed including an infographic on millenials’ views on the Holocaust, tributes and memorials for the victims of the Nazi regime, and documentation of life in the concentration camps.

Not all of the Subreddit’s posts contain information about the Holocaust. Some users are sharing humorous posts referencing West’s feuds with Taylor Swift and George W. Bush, while others are sticking with West.

Yesterday evening, West was suspended from Twitter for sharing an image of a swastika inside of the Star of David soon after his Infowars appearance. Around the same time, it was announced that his deal to purchase the right-wing social media platform Parler had been shelved “in mid-November.”
