Rosenbaum Introduction

Historians have long debated about the global impact of the horrors of the Holocaust.  Some historians approach the Holocaust as an isolated event and some relate it to other bloody genocides of the 20th century.  Rosenbaum relates the genocides in Cambodia, Sudan, Burma and the Ottoman Empire.  Historians also have much debate over the ideologies, reasons, and perpetrators of these atrocities.

Should these atrocities be looked at as isolated events or as a pattern throughout the 20th century?

Do you believe that these tragedies are connected by similar policies?
