I think I've finally realized why the Holocaust is so much widely commemorated.
It really is sort of bizarre and shocking even as far as genocides go, and as far as I know the only one where industrialized, planned out mass murder was used.
Stalin and Mao, the two "Evil Atheists" my fellow Christians always go to were mostly terribly callous and indifferent toward the suffering their policies caused, as opposed to deliberately wishing to exterminate a certain ethnic group.
The Holocaust, especially how it started out is every progressive's worst nightmare and every suburban republicans denied and suppressed fantasy.
The Holocaust did not start out as mass murder and extermination of the Jews. Rather it started out as a firm "cleansing" of German society of it's undesirables, the original reason the concentration camps were started.
Hitler was hardly original in his ideas, he just went after the people most people did not like or had little regard for .
Apart from Jews (many of whom left Germany before things really went to shit!), Prostitutes, Gays,Gypsies, drunks, drug addicts, chronically unemployed people, Lefties of all stripes (not just commies) and religious dissidents (Jehovah's witnesses, mouth priest and pastors) were basically rounded up and sent to the concentration camps to disappear from society. No gassings happened in pre war Nazi Germany (except to the retarded) but it was understood people who slowly be worked or starved to death.
Isn't like a Republican's distopyian dream? A pure and "final" solution to "those" people once and for all.
Since many Jewish people lived in this country, and progressivism is the predominant religion, it only makes sense that a large portion of time would be devoted to studying this.
