The Holocaust is something different. It is a singular event. It is not simply one example of genocide but a nearly successful attempt on the life of God's chosen children and, thus, on God himself.

The holocaust was bad. Very very bad. It was unfortunately not a singular event. There have been even more harsher genocides. Take the SOviet forced famine on the Ukraine. 14 million deaths.
TO my knowledge the holocaust was unique in amount of national recources and level of detailed planning that went into it.
Bizarre.
And is this a quote from Abraham Foxman? The man's an atheist. Why's he talking about chosen children? I hate Foxman. He just uses the holocaust to justify his own politics, which is a disgrace and a nasty thing to do with the memory of murder victims.
And for people above : The Trail of Tears was nowhere near the magnitude of the holocaust, slavery was slavery but nobody was trying to exterminate anyone, Hiroshima and Nagesaki were nowhere near the magnitude of the holocaust and were actions taken during war against an enemy aggressor. Overdone? MAybe. But fundamentally different. The Native Americans can compare.
The SPanish Inquisiton? There were no faithful Jews in SPain. They had been made to leave the year before. The Inquisitionturned 3,000 to 5,000 people over to the secular authorities for execution in its 200 year existence. All of them members of the Catholic church. Nobody else was subject to inquisition.

LOL, God's chosen children? Usually when someone says this and is refering to the Holocaust, they are talking about the Jews.
"Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, writing in the ADL's Frontline, January 1994."
Abraham Foxman is a imbecile. Is he implying that the Jews are famous for dieing?

LOL do you understand what even Holocaust is ?? It grew to become right into a deliberate removal of a finished race which they ok gain. the reason at the back of the unknown forgotten Hindu Holocaust could be reason there's no genuine information of it occurring. could you think in Mrs Wendy Doniger e book the hindus an option historic past reason she is a properly properly-known historian too. And that e book demeans the Hindu faith. 2d the classic era grew to become into extra monarchic in nature and monarchs are expansionist. So I continually ask this question WHY no longer ASK WHY A HINDU RULER KILLED HINDUS TO TAKE OVER yet another HINDUS LAND. superb occasion ASHOKA . So the Muslims rulers have been additionally the comparable as hindu rulers they killed for land and enlargement no longer faith or race. Why do human beings overlook the Mongols (They weren't muslims) who did the comparable factor as Ahmed shah abdali. 0.33. in accordance to you source then the biggest holocaust could bot be Hindu holocaust yet Holocaust via Europe reason they manged to caputre the full international killing tens of millions even removing some tribes from the face of the planet. What approximately Alekander the great he grew to become into close to to shooting the international would desire to have killed tens of millions why can we positioned a great in his call ?? Fourth how many Hindus there have been in the beginning ? and killed in what timeframe and via whom ? reason they might have the comparable faith yet human beings experience and think of in yet in a distinctive way. regrettably all of us shop CRYING HUE approximately human beings demise FROM THEIR faith. Why can we no longer see a guy, female or baby as a individual ? why can we've the would desire to divide ? What stable does glorifying ones faith or custom get no longer something yet differences. a tragic unhappy international we live in. Blinded via faith and no rational theory. We get no longer something out of it in uncomplicated terms misery and in uncomplicated terms the wealthy and useful who pull the strings get each and every thing.

Yes, and one of the worse crimes and disobediance of Gods word. What happened during the Holocaust was so brutal, that even now after all these years, the Jewish People are still suffering. What upsets me , is when others try to tell us that Hitler was a Christian. He was a Hypocrite and bounced off the walls trying to let people believe he was a devout Christian. NOT !! Yes, you are 100% ACCURATE !

Yes.
No other genocide was as systematic as the atrocities committed by the Nazis. From the death camps to the railways to the cattle cars to the forced registration of the Jews and their property, nothing in history was as organized, well planned, and diabolical.

The attempted extermination, removal, or isolation of the Jews has happened many other times. Best example - Spanish Inquisition.
