Yes - it was mentioned in school history lessons of others afflicted by this holocaust - and for sure it took place - what my point is, is that in the media, mostly we only hear about this 6 Million number of deaths of Jewish people - constantly, and repetitively - day in and day out - whereas we don't hear so much about the millions that were slaughtered elsewhere - such as say Cambodia under Pol Pot - or other attempted genocides that have taken place before or since - including the Armenian story - it always seems to be about these stated 6 million Jewish people -
the holocaust history that was taught while i was in school mentioned all of those groups, Gypsy. plus the mentally ill and others. i'm sorry if your education was cut short. the holocaust was real, and worse than reported. many GIs were witness to the horrors of the camps as they freed those still alive, and there are hundreds of photographs showing the bodies piled up in bulldozed holes awaiting burial. the Nazis were nothing if not meticulous/efficient, & many records of theirs remained detailing how many human beings were sent to various death camps. anyone that denies history is going to be treated as a crackpot, and deservedly so. sure, there were other mass killings, some far worse than the holocaust as you point out. but it was the most recent, and the only one that is being called "fake", not counting the genocide that Turkey visited on the Armenian people. why does nobody talk about that? nuclear weapons maybe? the west has been using Turkey as a bulwark against Russia since WW2. hmmm...
