If they did the same against Africans or Asians, there wouldn’t be Holocaust museums spread everywhere

They actually did do the same in China. Heck, the Americans did even worse to Koreans and Vietnamese. Fuck me they are doing it right now in Palestine.

Holocaust is seen as a unique travesty whereas it is just one of many other mass killings in world history. It is special only because it was white Europeans who died in it

    Then they'd give a shit about the other victims too. The Holocaust is singled out because it happened to a useful minority. Had the colonization of the Levante not been so focused by the brits and later the yanks , the Holocaust would've ended up as pure historical tidbit like the massacres during the mongol conquests. Pure politcal expediency.
