Hitler was only 3rd worst last century
no one seems to remember Mao or Stalin.
I wonder why...
Maybe the Jewish people just know how to make more of a noise about the atrocities done to them than the others.
either that or a tinfoil hat.

Or maybe the holocaust signifies something else than what Stalin did?
Like, you know, taking a large group of pepole, making them a different "race" and killing them all just because you think that "race" isn't human and doesn't deserve to live.
Sure, Stalin killed more russians than Hitler and his regime killed jews, but both did their horrendous deeds for different reasons.

so Mao and Stalin were better people than Hitler because even though they killed more people, they didn't get around to classifying them as a different race?
They targeted their own people the majority of the time, which to me (together with the numbers) makes it almost worse than what Hitler did. the Russians and the Chinese who were affected should (imo) learn from the Jews and be more vocal - they need to speak up more and remind the world of their story too imo. mass genocides and holocausts should not be allowed to happen again regardless of 'race'.

I've never said that Hitler was a "worst man", I said why I think the Holocaust is more talked about than Stalin's and Mao's crimes.
I've also never said that the Holocaust was "worst" than the manslaughter of Stalin and Mao (And yeah, I know that there were way more russians killed by Stalin than Jews by Hitler).
It's just that the Holocaust is a better "symbol" of problems that plague the human race - hate of others (and other stuff that I can't think about right now :P)
Oh, and just as a disclaimer, I am a Jew and most of my grandparents came from Germany, so, on a personal level, the holocaust means more to me than what Stalin and Mao did.
Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
