and so i take this thread seriously for a second, i will say that the holocaust has been simplified and stripped down to the barest of of words, descriptions and interpretations which are: nazis are bad, millions of jews were killed, it's some of the worst things to ever happen to humanity. all of these are true, without argument, but there's more to it than that. yes, more minorities should also be remembered, but also, it seems that the descendents of gypsies, catholics, gays, comunists, etc. would rather forget about them getting persecuted and going halfway thru extermination, unlike the jewish people, who always make a point about remembering the past so it won't happen again. i also can say, that most rememberance of the holocaust are from jewish people to jewish people, not directed at the world, even though it gets massive amounts of coverage worldwide.

as raging an idiot you think i am, you still don't get it. Germany allowed the slaughter of almost twelve million people in extermination camps and by roaming death sqauds, half were jews, and as we rasta say, half that story has never been told. They ignored the situation to the point of apathy. to ignore it in anyway today, would be the first steps towards returning to that German sentiment. genocide is the worst autrocity in human history, and the 21st century should be the time when it is finally put to an end, but this takes empathy and action from ALL people, not just those afflicted directly.
