This is a culture that remembered the destruction of the second temple 2000 years ago vividly enough to let it color their entire outlook for the next two thousand year. I have no doubt it will remember holocaust well enough 2000 years hence to still be reminding everyone else about it every other day.

The spanish caused more indian deaths than the total casaulty suffered for all reasona by all ethnicities between 1939-1945, of which the holocaust is but a tenth part? Probably.

Estimate puts the total number of native north, central and south Americans exterminated by disease, violence, and forced deprivation of sustenence from 1492 to the middle of the 17th century at between 50-100 million, equal to or greater than the high end estimate of total military and civilian casualty of WWII.

Relative to total global population, the 50 years after columbus saw, percentage wise, the greatest decline in global human population in recorded history, with fully 1 in 6 people on earth dying of disease introduced by the Spanish. This far surpasses the WWII, the black death, or any other recorded event in world history.
