Are Holocaust people separating this tragic event from World War II?

Question

It seems likely. They concentrate on the Holocaust and almost forget Hitler, Nazis, World War II, firebombing of Germany, and Gen. Eisenhower and the fall of Berlin with the Russians entering the city by bombing and Hitler blowing his brains out. And they come out with the dumb question, "why nobody did something?" Excuse me, and the 44 millions killed in World War II? What do you say?

Answer 1

It does seem like it is seperated when in reality it is just a big part of the entire horror that was World War II. I have studied and I am still studying both the holocaust and the actual war. Most things were intertwined and you shouldn't really just concentrate on one thing during that time period. most people seperate it because it was a war within a war. It was Hitler's personal war against those he hated, the things that he thought would just get in the way of him and his plans to dominate most of the world. You can't seperate it and get the whole picture.
Hitler's systematic and unapolgetic racial cleansing when he himself did not fit the profile he set out is what piques most peoples intrest. They just can't understand the why of it. (I don't know the why of it myself, and I admit that I am one of those whose intrest was caught. And I am one of those who got angry at the total predjedice shown back then.) But I don't forget about all the other things that were going on at the same time.
No one seems to want to remember that there were also two other Axis powers as well besides Hitler's Germany, there was Mussolini's Italian facist force, and Hirohito's Japanese empire. And then all the Allied and Neutral nations that fought or harboured all sides. There was definetly more to World War II then the holocaust. But most people don't care enough to find out the history in depth.

Answer 2

They separate it because it was not a result of the war. It happened at the same time, and was done by the same people, but was not part of the war effort.

The reason for the dumb question is simply that people don't want to believe you could keep something that big a secret.
