The holocaust was a very long time ago. Lots of 'survivors' are still dying. It's almost like a mark of pride. It's constantly talked about.

Why would being part of a genocide be so celebrated? I guess we just love it like apple pie. Apple pie and the holocaust.

Clearly no other people except the Jews matter when it comes to suffering from genocide. Clearly we as a society have a fetish for holocaust survivors. Clearly the impact of genocide has been made single focus.

Isn't this just an escaping of the gravity of the actual history? Is this selfishness at the core of it? What about all the others??

I'm just legitimately wondering

I for one know that 36 million USSR soldiers died fighting the 1000 year Reich. Can't remember reading a story about one of their half starved kids living a long life and dying at 90.

I just can't imagine why all other people's of contribution to the war effort are just so silenced in comparison to judeo peoples whom were sent to prison camps.

Everyone else does not matter in the eyes of popular culture.

I feel like I'm being assaulted with a single focus narrative of one small portion of a much larger picture. Can we not be more democratic as a culture?

I feel concerned about this. We're losing touch. This seems dangerous
