I grew up in redneck northern Minnesota, the holocaust jokes we told each other as kids were nothing short of horrific (None of us are Jews, hell I don’t even know if there are any Jews up in that part of the state to this day).
I still remember a few of them and shudder at the shit we used to say with zero understanding of what we were actually saying.
My grandfather, a Jew that landed on Omaha, made his way to Germany, involved with liberation of Buchenwald Concentration Camp, was the king of one liner Jewish jokes.
One of my favorites:
Please stop talking about my grandfather that died at Auschwitz-Berkinau.
He fell out of the guard tower and died.

I actually learned that one from @AWP on here several years ago and I still use it occasionally.

I watched an interview a few years ago with an old Jewish man who was in a concentration camp, but also made HI-lareous Jewish jokes. The interviewer asked something like, "doesn't that make you uncomfortable or a hypocrite?" The man's answer was "when we were in the camp, the only thing we could laugh at was ourselves."
My DNA is pretty vanilla but I do have small (single digit) percentage of sub-Saharan African DNA, which some people give me grief for (given that .80% of my DNA is Finnish, English, and other Scandinavian). I can joke about that,
Looking at the background of the best comedians, the best joke's come out of suffering. It's no different than dark humor among our communities, military, law enforcement, fire, EMS, medical and so on.
I'm going to hell.
I'm doing it
