In actual fact the Nazis were remarkably inefficient at killing lots of people quickly.
The Mongols routinely killed 100,000+ people in under an hour after capturing a city that had the nerve to resist them. Just distribute a few captives to each of your soldiers and on the signal everybody chops heads. Some claims are as high as 500,000, though this is probably exaggerated.
I believe Auschwitz never got much above an hourly rate of 1000.
I also disagree that rounding up the Jews for murder in their home locations would have been difficult. In most locations in Europe, unfortunately, most of the local gentiles were willing and eager to point out and even help round up the Jews.
The industrial uses Jewish resources and even bodies were put to is disturbing, of course, but surely the relevant point is that they were killed, not how they were treated after death?
You fail to convince me. Dead is dead.
The Nazis were vile beyond belief. Certainly some characteristics of their genocide were unique. They were different from those carried out by other peoples. That doesn't make them worse than other atrocities of similar scale.
Somehow, I don’t think that convincing you is possible.

The only real difference I see is that because of the way the German leaders set up their genocide of the Jews, they could continue to fool the populace that they were on moral high ground. The Mongrels had no such care in their society.
In a modern world where we live within a camera or a cell phone from each other in open societies, we suspect closed ones of nefarious practices. It routinely turns out we are right. When a supposedly open society devises a way to commit genocide while feeling good about itself, it creates a modern problem.
Is that based on exit polls or what, how do you get to those high percentages and measurement of emotional state.
