I'm doing a report and we have to get a song that matches our book; my book is about the Holocaust and i allways thought sunday bloody sunday was about it. Do you know?

"The original Bloody Sunday occurred in Dublin when 14 people were shot by the "Black and Tans" in response to an IRA assasination campaign against government officials. I don't know the exact date for this but round about 1920.
The second Bloody Sunday occurred in the city of Derry on 30 Jan 1972 when soldiers from the Parachute Regiment attempted to break up a Civil Rights demonstration. 13 civilians were shot dead and all were unarmed. There is a great deal of controversy surrounding this incident and a British inquest cleared the soldiers involved of any responsibility claiming that they had been fired on first and that the crowd had been throwing nail bombs. Republicans assert that this was a whitewash and the aftermath of Bloody Sunday provided ideal recruiting conditions for the Provisional IRA."

It's not about the Holocaust. It's about the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland.
Songs about the Holocaust:
"Dachau Blues" by Captain Beefheart
"Red Sector A" by Rush

I just thought it was an overplayed song by U2. If you want a great book on the holocaust, read, "The Holocaust Industry" by Norman Finkelstein. You can find it on amazon.com

Bono says this song has to do with the turmoil in Northern Ireland where unarmed people were shot by British military for protesting - most of the dead were teenagers....I don't think it had anything to do with the Holocaust...

sunday bloody sunday is not about the holocoust, using it as such would be inappropriate. look through some bob dylan songs. I'm not sure if very many are specifically about the holocoust but (god on our side) makes some references to it.

I don't think it's about that, I'm pretty sure it's about an Irish uprising.
