It tells tht the Holocaust was the undisputed champion of ethnic cleansings, and give information to make that case. They give examples of the Native Americans that were slaughter starting with the arrival of Columbus. But a major reason for the extreme deaths for the Indians was illness that was new to them, and thier body could not fight them off. The Ukarinaian famine of the 1930's was said to be a political statement by Stalin, claiming that the Ukarine government was a free state before, threatening communism. The Holocaust according to Himmler said, "all Jews must die."
My question:
Jewish people in World War II were killed because of the fact they were Jewish... but because the other examples were not a "total genocide", are we not splitting hairs?
