Holocaust is one of the biggest pieces of unintentional propaganda ever.

its also more important than other wars as it is a world war and revolutionary on many aspects.

Every single year in school since third grade, we've heard about the holocaust for at least one week per year. Only one year did we talk about the conquest of the new world, which was genocide on a MUCH LARGER scale, and nobody gave a stuff, but we talk about the holocaust and it's suddenly the worst thing to ever happen to anyone ever. You're telling me that killing over 90% of the native american population west of the Rockies isn't as bad as killing 5 million jews? That's not even 40% of the jews in europe in the ww2 era. There were many more native americans than jews and the fact that they killed over 90% of them brutally doesn't mean stuff to my idiot classmates.

There are countless more genocides that could be discussed. You have to consider, while taking a break from your idiotic teenaged-ass "rage against the machine" mindset, that a school's curriculum is based largely on the amount of time they have, the books they have access to, and the direct usefulness and general relevance of a subject.
I'm so sorry that six million dead people are instantly irrelevant to you because your favourite genocide isn't the one that people focus on. I'm more of a Rwandan Genocide man myself, but hey, to each their own.

Huh, I only had Worldwar 2 combined with Worldwar 1 for a month, back the year prior to my final exam year. It only lasted one month as it was part of one of the 5 (or so) periods a year.

I guess it's different in The Netherlands, which is odd because it happened here pretty literally.

I didn't realize you were from The Netherlands, here in the good old USA we talk about the Holocaust for at least a week each school year. It's a little ironic that the holocaust garnered support because of propaganda and now has become a source of propaganda.

I didn't mean to start a flamewar, lol.

We spend 5 seconds talking about the conquest of the "new world," which was a genocide on a larger scale than the holocaust, and like 3 loving weeks talking about the holocaust in class.

That's because the historical significance of the abuse and exploitation of Native Americans isn't quite as relevant to modern history as World War II. Yes, it was a tragedy on an equal or far greater scale than the Holocaust, but pretty much the entire state of modern Europe was set in place by the events in WWII. Memorizing the finer intricacies of Spanish encomienda and all of the conflicts between Native tribes and the US government won't do a whole lot for your understanding of modern US history. If you want to talk about historical significance, WWII is the clear winner.

The jews are the only group you see whoring themselves out about the holocaust. The Roma don't talk about it. The Russians don't talk about it.

My grandmother was taken away from her family in Warsaw, Poland as a teenager and forced to work in a labor camp for years until she was liberated by Russians. Her family was sent to the Warsaw ghettos, lined up in front of a ditch, and shot like animals by national socialist soldiers. In the camps, she was only fed potatoes, which malnourished her and caused her to lose all of her teeth. Shortly before she was liberated, an Allied bomb hit the bunker where her and the other laborers were sitting in and the explosion decapitated her best friend right before her eyes.

But yeah, I guess three weeks is too much time for you to spend on one topic, especially 'Jewish propaganda', right? You edgy little stuff.

Nobody cared about the holocaust while it was happening in the States, what.
Damn, maybe you should pay attention during that week about your least favourite genocide.

Holocaust is one of the biggest pieces of propaganda ever. Almost 70 years later we're still hearing about the 12 million or whatever the forget it was. The media and schools cram it down everyone's throat. We spend 5 seconds talking about the conquest of the "new world," which was a genocide on a larger scale than the holocaust, and like 3 loving weeks talking about the holocaust in class. Genocide loving happens. It shouldn't but it does. I don't see why we marvel at that. More than half of the people killed during the holocaust weren't even loving Jewish. I'm sorry but the holocaust is like beating a dead horse for me at this point. The jews are the only group you see whoring themselves out about the holocaust. The Roma don't talk about it. The Russians don't talk about it. The jews are the only reason we still talk about it. When we want to feel pity on the jews for the holocaust, it's completely welcome, but when we want to indict them for war crimes against palestinians, or even disapprove of netanyahu, that's anti semitic? what in the actual forget

i actually thought that this was a copy-paste thing you ripped from somewhere
but no, you're actually serious
