But the simple fact remains: Jews by race, focus and number were the largest single group targeted and killed by the Nazis

The Jewish death toll from a Nazis was about 6 million. The death toll of Ukranians from Stalin's deliberate genocide-famine campaign in 1932-33 was between 6 and 7 million. The total Soviet murder statistics dwarf the Nazis.

The bottom line is that murder-by-government in Europe in the first half of the 20th Century was huge by any historical measure. It was not exclusively all about the Jews

That is the danger of focusing solely on the Jewish Holocaust. It makes it seem like mass murder by government was just a strange and terrible one-off event and not a recurring part of history (and indeed, the present).

Sadly, I think the Holocaust has become almost a fetish; with Holocaust Museums, Parks, countless movies, and other displays all focusing on one event as if it was the only case of vicious evil government.
