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.

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”.
