These are the words of an ignorant Holocaust-revisionist swine. Are you such a person, or are you quoting someone else?
See if your ward nurse can find a copy of Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt (yes, a Jew), and maybe a nurse-aide or Red Cross worker can read it to you...perhaps even explain it to you (alas, it contains no drawing or pictures.
It was not the only industrial genocide, nor was it unmatched in its inhumanity and brutality.
It is most important to us because we have such impeccable records.
Neither the Stalinist nor Maoist mass murders are forgotten...
But so little is known of them because they were never conquered, their records never captured and scoured by historians for generations.
...but there is no great lesson there, either, other than that tyranny is evil.
Yet your first graf seems to boast of the merits of cleaning up, profiting from the remains of the victims, and moving on. You make me want to vomit.
If I had the authority to do so, I'd nuke your account right now.
You know nothing of me, you misinterpret what I write, and you curse me. You are no more competent to comment on the Holocaust than is a denier, or worse, a leftist who hates Jews. A knee jerk imbecile.
I mentioned Waterloo because it was a great and decisive battle in history, it changed the course of Europe, it victors were heralded and its defeated ruined, its tyrant crushed. That one battle affected tens of millions of people. And yet, at its conclusion, the dead were left to decay where they had fallen.
What does this say about how people honor history? How just a year later, their Earthly remains of their heroes and saviors were used as fertilizer?
For all the lives lost in the Holocaust, the opinion of the world to the Jews wasn’t changed one bit. Thrown the possibility of a scrap of land to call their own, they had to fight the British for it. And then they had to fight the Muslims for it. Of the entire world, perhaps only America helped the Jews in any substantial way, and then, to at least some extent, for its own reasons.
Yes, the Holocaust is one of the most important events in Jewish history. But the rest of the world doesn’t care—as they have just recently demonstrated. With the passing of every year, it becomes less special—just another terribly tragedy caused by evil.
So why preserve a concentration camp? In another 50 years, with or without the camp, the Germans will have probably rehabilitated Hitler, as the French have done to Bonaparte. They will think of him as “Just another German leader”.
The Jews have a heartfelt slogan of “Never Again!”, but it, too, is just for them, because the rest of the world has already forgotten.
The Russians already have forgiven Stalin for his crimes, as have the Chinese forgiven Mao. Millions of their countrymen died. It is insane that they would still admire their killers. But they do. Is there any illusion that the Holocaust to them is even worth consideration?
This is a serious subject. There is no place for the arrogance you exhibited.
