I don’t understand what is supposed to be the offense here. It was a trivia question about world history. In the context it was clearly not an endorsement.
Maybe there are people in the audience who would rather not be reminded of the person who murdered their family members when they’re just trying to go to a game. Treating Hitler like a distant history factoid that couldn’t have impacted anyone alive is at minimum ignorant.
It’s not possible to mention or show Hitler without invoking the Holocaust, they’re inseparable in the public consciousness. It would be like asking trivia about another genocide.

I don’t know, considering Nazis are becoming a problem again, it’s a bad look.
They’ve been a consistent problem since the 1930s
Yes, ignoring and not acknowledging and teaching history is a good way to not repeat it.

By this logic, would a question about the Soviet Union also be bad?
Do you think it would be normal for a question about the Holodomor to appear?
No, but the analogous question would be something like “where was Stalin born”.

Bad taste gets this kind of reaction
