The Holocaust is forgotten with mass murderers like Stalin, fifty million dead under his brutality, China's Mao, some forty million, Pol Pot, and Idi Amin rarely mentioned. Hitler also sent another three million to their deaths besides Jews (I am Jewish) including Gypsies, Homosexuals, and other countries's citizens that defied him. Some even argue the 47 million in abortions performed in the United States is a Holocaust. Even Saddam Hussein was a mass murderer. So, why is Hitler's Holocaust seemingly the only one mentioned? It is the most prominent of all because movies were made to show it. Few ever speak of Stalin's mass killings because he was a paranoid.
History should be taught on all the germicides over the centuries not just one-Hitler's. And, it should include the other three million gased along side the Jews. Pol Pot and Idi Amin were probably preventable as is Darfur and the current human rights abuses by the Chinese. Even Hitler was given carte Blanche by imbecilic European pacifists and pacifists right here in America. America would not even allow enough Jews passage into America to fulfill the quotas because of pacifism. British Prime Minister Chamberlain was fired over his pacifism, and France wasn't any better.
All these mass murders shouldn't be remembered as mere statistics; real people were murdered because of hate and fear. Fear does lead to hate. Hitler hated the Jews because he felt victimized in his abhorrent mind. Actually, Hitler failed to graduate was his real problem.
The United Nations, which stops little of the germicides currently running amok, is a joke. It is a glorified monument to America's stupidity for funding it in the first place. The United Nations ignores what goes on in the world everyday. AIDS is destroying Africa but no assistance, except token, is being sent.
The real reason all the mass murders happened is because few wanted to do anything about them. Maybe that is why all the pain and agony over the Holocaust-it could have been prevented by Britain and France, and the United States. Instead, they sat idly by and watched Hitler form his evil empire. If we are to treat all life precious, then we must talk about all the mass murderers not just Hitler and his cronies. And, we must place blame on those that could have prevented the atrocities almost as much as we do the perpetrators. Yet, maybe we should be preventing new germicides from happening instead of crying over the past because those of today will be tomorrow's history.
