"But the fact that this is the man who waged war across the world and tortured and killed six million Jews.."

It is not a small fact that Hitler's machine tortured and killed many others besides just Jews, including a fair number of Germans.

True, but he was a rank amateur compared to Stalin.

Hitler killed a lot of everybody, but it is not inaccurate to set apart the extermination of the Jews from everything else. The reason? Because Hitler put a bizarre and incredible effort into killing the Jews. In fact, according to some historical analyses, Nazi Germany used as many resources -- cash, men and infrastructure -- building the death camps and exterminating the Jews as they did fighting all the Allies in the West put together. The Jewish Holocaust wasn't just another barbaric act the Germans committed, it was in all respects a full third front of the War for Nazi Germany.

Why? Because he wanted to exterminate an entire people group. His goal was THE extermination of the Jewish People.

Yes, he tortured and murder many, many other people but not in order to rid the world of their race.
