You don't think that jews have more media sway than some gypsies in Eastern Europe? Out of the 11 million people who died in the Holocaust, an estimated 5 million or so were non-jews. That's a hell of a large number....and how many war movies have you ever seen focusing on their plight? Nobody is downplaying what happened to the jews, but come one, let's be a little realistic....they have done a great job at keeping their plight in the spotlight.

I don't really believe the "I didn't know" angle either....considering all the events and new laws that were happening in the country in the years leading up to the war, nobody could have though that Nazi's were taking those families away for tea and sandwiches.
