This chapter is almost like a who's who when it comes to genocides. The atrocities that occurred during the Holocaust are not indigenous to just that event. The main point I took out of this chapter and furthermore, the book, was that there are similarities in all of these events. There are also differences in these events. The argument from many saying that the Holocaust is put on a pedestal is worth a listen. However, in everyone of the instances we studied, IN MY OPINION, as insignificant as it is... none of these other genocides went to the extreme to end a complete race of people like the Holocaust. All are morbid, all deserve to treated as real tragedies.
My question:
I was left wondering... are there, and if so how many, atrocities we don't know about that are similar to the Holocaust?
