Sorry, I don't understand. I believe there are Jews in my attic, but this belief should be suppressed, rather than spread.

This seems like fallacy of the excluded middle. Suppressed and spread are not the only two options.

If the nazi starts to believe it, you should suppress such a belief (probably by acting inocculuously, but if suppressing it violently would work better you should do that instead.)

Fair enough.
