Probably because it was the largest in scale and it incorporated the full weight of the state in conducting the holocaust. It was also intricately planned and carried out on an unprecedented scale by almost a whole nation. Perhaps the fact that the German's were regarded as an educated and civilised people it is interesting to see how they as a nation desceneded into all out genocide on an established people within their country. You could also argue that the holocaust was the most wide ranging of genocides. Not just one race or religion but masses of Jews, Poles, Czecks, Gypsies, Roma, Handicapped, Communists, Catholics, Protestants, Slavs etc, this again is unprecedented when compared to other genocides such as Rwanda/ Former Yugoslavia etc. On a side note to Jamal A I think your answer is quite insensitive, the question is asking why do we thing the Nazi Holocaust is the most famous, and i think your anti-western tirade detracts from importance of the question and subject at hand. Indeed many muslims died as a result but half of the world's Jewish population was wiped out, HALF in only six years!!! |

When holocaust deniers are I'm just curious. Usually when
someone is brought up on
charges and brought to trial,
there are damaged parties who
seek compensation. In the case
of Holocaust deniers, who are
the victims who are claiming
that they were damaged?

The state brings criminal charges. There is no damaged party seeking compensation, that would involve tort law. In a criminal case, it is the state which is damaged, if you will. |

Reciever of holocaust dishing Where are the so called
psychologists?
Is Holocaust not a bad thing?
What is the difference between
the german Holocaust against
the Jews and the Jewish
Holocaust against the
Palestinians?
Is it not true that "One man's
terrorist in another man's
freedom fighter"?
Remember Mandela's ANC of
South Africa was labeled
terrorist by USA, Britain and
other big powers?.
Is Israel not proving the fact
that a bullied child grows up
to become a super bully adult?

Jews were treated very harshly. Under Hitler's regime, Jews were at first subjected to humiliation such as having to wear a bright yellow star on their clothing, and having to shop at separate stores and have to attend different schools. The second phase saw the Jews being rounded up into ghettos where there was severe overcrowding and lack of sanitation. When too many Jews were rounded up into the ghetto, the Nazi's first eliminated many by random shootings. As the ghettos were liquidated many Jews were sent to concentration camps where they suffered really brutal treatment. Oh if any Jew at any stage rebelled or led a Nazi to think he had rebelled or committed a crime, he was executed, usually on the spot. 6 million Jews died during the Holocaust. Those that survived suffered mental problems for years. The idea that the freed Jews were happy after being freed from the camps is a crock of bullsh*t. Many had lost entire families, they had no job or no houses. Many were sick. Not to mention that there was still anti-semitism after the camps were liquidated, |
