Yes: I didn't have Nazis tramping all over my country, thank goodness. Though my father and every man I know of his generation fought in World War II in Europe, they went there, the war itself didn't come here, and we were never even bombed. My personal 'experience' of Nazis is almost entirely from books.
So yes, place has a strong effect there, as well as the passage of time. By chance and luck, homophobia is something that has affected me more personally than Nazism. (Not that they are unrelated concepts: the Nazis were homophobic, too.)
