Holocaust Chapter 4

Author Steven Katz gets right to the point; the Holocaust is unique because its intention was the complete annihilation of a specific group.  Compared to Native American Indians, Katz states that the main cause of their loss of population was from disease that the Europeans introduced that the Indians had no immunity to.  Compared to the famine in Ukraine which was about political independence,  not the elimination of Ukranian biological stock.  And finally as compared to the Armenian tragedy which was the result of extreme Turkish nationalism and wasn't just targeting Armenians.
