Soon there will be no living survivors to this tragedy, soon, only we as future generations must commit to never letting a horrendous genocide happen again.
Edit:
Wow front page! Not something to be super stoked about considering the subject matter but thanks for spreading the awareness of this everyone!
MamaJeaux
Hoping once the last survivor has passed away, this chapter in history will not be erased.
ShakeAndBake2865
Lets hope it doesnt turn into a tree falls in the wood situation and when those who endured it are are gone those who deny it will not still
whelibab
The Jews could not remember it themselves self as they are killing the Palestinians in Israel
ExcitedBlueJay
What do you mean never let it happen again? Do you know how many genocides there's been since WWII?
ThinkB4UTalk
Happened to the Armenians and the saddest part is Turkey continues to deny it ever happened. Survivors never got the the closure...
SquanchSchwifty
this is not what i want to see on imgur... but take my upvote +1, because everybody has to see!

There have been a shit ton of genocides since the Nazis just none in western europe

So what are you doing to stop the multiple genocides that are happening today?

It will happen again and when it does it will more than likely be ignored because it's the third world.

We have let numerous genocides happen since WW2, granted China and Russia would have been tough to stop, but there have been a half dozen(1)

in Africa that nobody gave a fuck about because there was no global power at stake or money involved. (2)

Just look to the Rohingya. :(

Uhhhhh there’s kind of a genocide happening right now

Oh and of course the Turkish agression against the Kurds can also be counted as such.

Agreed. But i have to say the Kurds arent, or have they ever, just taking it. They fight back.
AbigailLongbottom
The greatest fear I have for my kids. As those who remember the world wars die off we’re forgetting how horrible they, and are gearing 1/
AbigailLongbottom
up to repeat them.
HerMajestysSecretButthole
Y’know, then there’s Stalin that did triple the amount mass killings yet he’s oddly rarely as mentioned as Hitler.
Durango
Because we tend to categorize it as not a "genocide" per the strict definition of the term. The mass killing were it's own people, for power
Durango
and not the systematic eradication of a particular ethic group (even though Ethnic cleansing DID happen under Stalin, the bulk of the
Durango
killing were purge of the opposition. Now hear me out, it's a full blow tragedy, but people often regard it as less horrifying than the

deportation of jews/gays/slav/disabled just because they were jew/gay/slav/handicapped
HerMajestysSecretButthole
There was a systematic ethnic cleansing during Stalin’s death grip of power, it’s just not constantly at the forefront because Nazis.
Durango
Yes, that's exactly was I said, though (ethic cleansing DID happen under Stalin but etc.)
FrancoUnAmerican
Humans like to forget.
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
And the starving of 6mil Ukrainians before WWII, and the 60mil Russians and the 100mil Chinese in Mao’s regime;but that’s not as important
relicen
Yeah, only the genocide with the most deaths should be remembered.
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
No; they all need to be remembered and steps taken to prevent their repeat. One is not more “evil” than another; they’re all abhorrent.
relicen
So why did you try to belittle the holocaust instead of just informing about the ones you mentioned?
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
didn't belittle anything; *it is fact that the other items mentioned have little to no recognition* why belittle *those* atrocities by >
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
>>> and it's not about "if this group is mentioned, that other group must also be mentioned" it is about the fact that people don't learn
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
>> constant exclusion? what about *those* survivors? None of them are *ever* mentioned in the discourse surrounding that time period.

In related news, Turkey still has not recognized the Armenian Genocide
Dontputitinmybutt
Also the Greek genocide which usually goes unnoticed with close to 700,000 deaths. Happened the same time.Greeks & Armenians remember.

There are at least 4 colleges in socal with a Holocaust studies minor. My high school had a whole WWII class. Wtf district were you in??

And what college did you go to? There’s even the Museum of Tolerance in LA dedicated ENTIRELY to the Holocaust.

I know I want to see that. I live in a desert. Lol that should explain a lot. I want to go the the museum.
honeyboobees
Right? I was in the lausd and also the Pasadena school district and both teach about ww2

MeteoricMediocrity
It can happen anywhere. Wet have to learn from history and note warning signs such as trying to gag the press, racism, scape-goating, walls,
TheQuietHunter
The Germans built ovens and death chambers, not walls. We need to look at Eastern Europe and remind ourselves what America means morally.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that people want to stay. I support reform. They are not being stuffed into gas chambers.

The Serbs had industrial killing complexes where you could kill 4416 people a day? C'mon, the war is bad but nothing to compare with this.

genocide is a genocide. we don't define genocide by number of people killed per day.

Every culture that commits genocide brings their own cultural influence. Germany brought industrial efficiency.

My point here is that in the last 60 years, there were many genocides, but this wasn't one. Our war showed the world our cap. for brutality.
fauxnews
They came to defend Serbian Yugoslavia and their brutality was a tactic. What Hitler's regime did, that was a planned systemic genocide.

The Serbs did not band together and decide that I was subhuman. The men that came to my village didn't come to wipe me off the map.

We tried to kill each other, not another "race". We massacred our own blood over ancient wounds and differences in religion.

There were none polish camps. Yes there was some polish collaborators same as there jewish collaborators. Read something other than tweeter

*sigh* Holocaust denial is rarely that they don't believe it happened, it's that they don't believe there were 6 million Jews that /1

Were killed. They believe closer to 500k. Also that the atrocities were greatly exaggerated in the books to use Germany as a scapegoat. /2/2
Shendorion
Oh, only half a million? Well, that's a horse of a different color. Half a million is . . . hang on, half a million is still monstrous.
itsprobablysarcastic
the real question is why is the Holocaust always so emphasized in Jewish culture. there have been much much bigger genocides in history...
imshibagel
The downvotes you are receiving for an honest question are absolutely not fair.
Silamy
Are you asking why Jews emphasize a genocide of Jews that killed 40% of our population in living memory in our own culture over others?
Opul
See Silamy’s answer. What do you expect them to say? ‘Oh well, we didn’t really like those millions of kinsmen anyway’.
itsprobablysarcastic
yet you do not see such an emphasis in other cultures such as Indians when they were under genocide by Muslims for over 700 years
twozerooz
It's the only one to happen in the modern world. Easy to see people of 500 years ago as cavemen, where genocide would almost be expected
wallaceericson
Armenian Genocide (1915), Rewandan Genocide (1990), Bosnian Genocide (1995). Just to name a few

Because as a westerner that didn't effect us in any direct way. Hitler's Holocaust effected westerners directly and still to this day.
