Answer:

The correct answer is If you don’t remember the Holocaust, you are evil.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Aristoteles, Pathos is the ability of the speaker or writer to influence the feelings and emotions of his audience.

It is a mode of persuasion in which the speaker tries to reach a certain emotion or influence the decision of who is listening or reading.

That's why it would be wrong to use the phrase "If you don’t remember the Holocaust, you are evil. ", since it does not have an indirect way to appeal to someone's emotion.
