Chapter 6

In this chapter Drecher's essay talks about the Atlantic slave trade in comparison to the Holocaust itself. In doing so speaking about these events I noticed that the difference between the two events were the reasoning behind them and the specific time frames that each event took. When looking at the holocaust  I noticed that in comparison to the slave trade the holocaust was quick and main goal was to eliminate the jewish population. on the other hand when looking at the Atlantic slave trade, this event was taken over a long period of time and focussed on using the slaves to work not kill them, difference being the value of life and death. In this we then begin to think of what constitutes a actual "genocide".
