Recognition is a start. Jewish people have survived pogroms and centuries of antisemitism by turning tragedies into humor of the type Jerry used. It may be harder for you to see the humor amidst tragedy if you’ve never experienced that culture. It’s nothing against you but he’s right. We need to get back to funny again.

Comedic mockery of evil is a powerful tool. "Springtime for Hitler and Germany" by Mel Brooks comes to mind. Over dinner this evening a friend recommended Charlie Chaplin's, "The Dictator."
