Why is the holocaust viewed as a significant event? Man has been

>>2776689
Either this is bait, or you are a sociopath.

>>2776689
Because it was the most highly industrialized genocide to date. It was an unusually methodical attempt to eliminate millions of people because of their identity.

Because it was a sanctioned effort by the state with infrastructure built solely to contribute to it. It's one thing to kill an enemy combatant with a spear or a rifle or a tank, it's quite another to round up millions of your own citizens to have them imprisoned, worked to death, or executed by the state.

Because the jews control the banks and the media.

this.

>>2776689
Because as time advances, people usually care about other people, look at the enlightenment, ideas such as liberalism and constitutionalism developed,

>>2776700
Absolutely this.

>>2776708
Yeah, that's exactly why the Jews get this special treatment, while the victims of the Soviet Union, Holodomor and others are pretty much just forgotten.

>>2776726
They didn't even did any action against those poor Ukrainians.

Are you dumb or something, anon?

You'll never let us off the ride, wont you /pol/?

>>2776697
Basically this. And since the media is controlled by (((them))) you get what we have today.

>>2776726
No-one can forget about the Holodomor because it's constantly being brought up.

>>2776726
It's almost as if people are more concerned with western europe than eastern europe in general.

>>2776800
Jews have nothing to do with Western Europe, they are rats from the Middle East.

>>2776821
There's no satisfying you tards, is there?

Why are the refugees viewed as a significant event? People has been migrating since time immemorial, it's not unusual at all.

>>2776821
Alright, let's say they are rats, if i were to devise a method of killing rats that involved their long term sufferering, like forcing them to run on a hamster wheel until they die of starvation and exhaustion, or if they aren't ableto, i spray draino in their face until they die, i think most people could look at that system and say that it's not very ethical.

>>2776736
>Say these news articles specifically say holocaust and six million
>Opposition pulls out evidence that I am lying
>I never specifically said six million!
>Go on damage control

It was industrialized murder, whereby an enormous number of people were implicit to varying degree. Someone had to give a list of names, someone had to write them down, someone had to sign the orders to remove them, someone had to drive them to their destiation, someone had to build the camps, someone had to pull the lever, and someone had to clean up the mess.

>>2776689
Because the allies wanted to glorify themselves, if the axis won they would have demonised the westerners for their bombing of civilians and the Gulags of the Soviets.

>>2776689
It was significant in history of eastern and central Europe and the middle east.

It really is a footnote in history.
There have been plenty of disasters, anthropocentric or otherwise, which have had more profound and far-reaching effects than the holocaust.
6,000,000 is a high end estimate - <10% of those who died in WWII. It's not antisemitic to ask why is the spotlight shined on them, and even if you say it is antisemitic, it's still an interesting question.
There's no simple answer, but some that I'm partially convinced by include:
>Germans done it (enlightened sophisticated rational people), it's seen as especially troubling/obscene if it's done by a people who aren't regarded as savages.
>It was perpetrated, at significant cost, during a time of total war despite the vast majority of jews being non-hostile. troubling implications again.
>There was nothing rwandan about it, it wasn't ad hoc or frenzied but thought out and thorough.
>Fits in well with the promotion of white guilt.
>Jews really are massively over-represented in media, government and academia and unsurprisingly place a greater onus on their story.
>How liberals can justify the greatest war in human history & the preventable deaths of millions.

>>2776736
go back to /pol/ and stay there.

>>2776689
industrial scale genocide and ethnic cleansing on that scale was unprecedented

personally i find the bureaucracy that led to the holocaust fascinating

>>2776689
It was the first and only mass scale industrial genocide in western Europe. There were others who are frowned upon just as much, you just don't hear about them as much in the west.

You guys are pretty dumb if you think there even was an actual "Holocaust" That was a made up word to demonize an event that didn't happen. The reason many people died in the camps was due to Allied bombing of supply lines, which cut off vital supplies and medicine to the camps. Once the disease broke out, there was no help to stem the tide of death and wide-spread suffering. You can thank Allied bombing for all those deaths.

>>2776689
It happened "closer to home". Western Europeans don't give a shit about things that happen in the wider world.

>>Germans done it (enlightened sophisticated rational people)
I cannot agree with you on this one. I think that during the first half of the last century Germans were not seen in a bright light by the people of a large part of Europe, with all the "Halt the Huns" propaganda.

Fortunately, the Nazis anticipated that by building enough cremation capacity to incinerate the camp populations in about a week!

>>2776689
if you want a non-meme answer: it's because of the industrial scale of the Holocaust, it's easier to look the other way to a major famine or disease outbreak that kills people, but having factories that were purpose-built to kill people was new.

previous genocides were to let disease/starvation/thirst do the job for you, it was a different beast altogether for an entire society of people to be built around the extermination of Poles, Russians, and Jews as well as any other qualifier that made Nazi targets less than human.

>>2779618
Come to think of it why didn't they just put them in the camps and not give feed them or give them water? They'd still die and could deny their guilt if caught saying it was a logistical mistake in not getting food there or something.

>>2779660
Some need to work. Some need to be transported.

>A bunch of unrelated references to 6 million Jews before 1945 means that the Holocaust is a lie.
