No. I will bond with those who share my suffering and my values, which have been reduced to almost nothing by the likes of the Nazis.

In a pacifistic sense, yes, I could treat everyone with a certain level of respect no matter what they have done to me. However, I certainly would not call that "love."
Yes, I am telling you that if you were a Jew who went through the concentration camps, you should love Hitler. That seems like the pinnacle of human understanding that everyone should be reaching for.
