Nor, alongside it, the sheer banality of a lot of the evil. Civil service processes calmly organizing mass murder. People obeying orders and seeing nothing wrong with helping it all….”I’m just doing my job”
Strange thing to do, considering how antisemitic we are all supposed to be….
What about the 5 million non-Jewish victima, bit weird to not mention them.

No Nazism, no authoritarianism. Poor souls.

66 million dead in total.
And it all occurred due to the silence of tens of millions more and the moral cowardice of global leaders that allowed Hitler to gain such power.
And we don’t learn. The world has stood by silently and allowed Iran and North Korea to become what they are now. And the same for Putin. And now America.
6 million dead purely because of their religion, and we still allow genocide today.

Like all atrocity’s it should be remembered for what it was ,an attack on humanity which should never be forgotten and which the human race should learn from .
I know it’s not the biggest or perhaps even cruelest slaughter of people in history but it always stands out to me as the worst based on how complete and systematic it was.
Like, compared to what happened in Ireland. The British never specifically tried to completely eliminate every single person here. Some Irish people even managed to rise in the ranks of British society and military.
If the Germans won in WW2 there wouldn’t be a single Jew left. After that, they would have moved onto their next most hated target.
Whenever I see this I think of the [Milgram experiment ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment) that tried to understand why ordinary people did what they did. Fascinating insight into human behaviour and the results were hard to swallow.
Then ofc the one group who had the freedom to leave the camps if they renounced their faith etc.
I think the President should have listened when the Jewish community (or at least some organizations, apparently), said they didn’t want him to speak at the commemoration. Disrespectful not to listen.
