Yea but you see, we can’t stop this particular genocide because… reads notes
a bigger genocide has happened in the past and you can only ever stop the worstest one. Or something.
That’s why Jan Karski toned down his report on the Holocaust; he was afraid people wouldn’t believe the unimaginable horrors he saw. He was still met with skepticism.
Everyone was really horrified when information on what was happening went public.
And there were little doubts on making what needed to be done to punish perpetrators and making Germany incapable of doing something like that again for years to come.
Shitty holocaust deniers were something that came later.
Yeah you can say that if you like, and you are probably correct in technical terms, but why does it that make it not possible to claim other genocides share a lot with the holocaust? Like the racism and rise in fascism and the legitimization of mass murder, etc… all the hunger and thirst and dying are akin to the holocaust. Being trapped in an open air prison is only slightly less worse than being in a concentration camp.
I am sure the holocaust was also a “pretty strong claim” during the actual holocaust.

The holocaust was a specific event, not a category.
