Well you have Dafur, then you have the Kurds, the Taliban, there are any number of events that can be compared to the Holocaust. Take any incident that involved Genocide in one way shape or form, or the actual upheavel of a social structure and placing them elsewhere and we would have our own modern day holocaust.
If you want a past tense of an event: the Indians and the trail of tears. We uprooted them and placed them in "camps" only we gave it a prettier name of reservations. Many people died in during that, much like how many people died on their way to the Concentration/work camps.
Saddam can be compared to Hitler, because he wanted Shi'ite only Iraq.
The Talibain can be compared to the Nazi's via their tactics of you don't believe the same way we do there fore you are dead.
Bush can also be compared to Hitler via, he just won't give up, he is under the impression that he is right and everyone else can eat doggy poop.

One that no one even tried to explain was what was happening in the former Yugoslavia. It was taking place during the Clinton administration. The Serbians were systematical killing the Croatians due to a difference in religions: Muslim, and Christians I believe. People were dragged from their homes, many were killed by the Serbian soldiers them selves in order to "cleanse" their country of the Muslims. I was found to be a genocide, and the world reacted with force to put down the Serbs.
Another instance of mass genocide that occurred before, during, and after the holocaust was the mass genocide of Russians under the totalitarian rule of Stalin. Records were not well kept during the mass purges that occured during Stalin's reign, but estimates were put as high as 20 million people were killed either by execution by the NKDV or by being in or worked to death in the Russian goulags.

Also Saddam Hussein's attempted extermination of the Kurds and Shi'ites.
In April 1991, after Saddam lost control of Kuwait in the Gulf War, he cracked down ruthlessly against uprisings in the Kurdish north and the Shia south. His forces committed wholesale massacres and other gross human rights violations against both groups.
Estimates of deaths during that time range from 40,000 to 100,000 for Kurds, and 60,000 to 130,000 for Shi'ites.

Somewhat off-subject, but I guess there are many things, since a good number of people compare Bush to Hitler.

Thank God there is not many holocaust's, all though there have been several huge mass killings in Africa in the last decade.

One word Darfur. It is in the Sudan and it ranks among the all time least awesome places to be.
