The thing that people get tired of is when people take things so personally and act like their ethnicity is the only one that has ever suffered. The direction of this thread is this: other races suffered just as bad, if not more, than Jews. So why is it that as far as most people know, the Jews were the only ones slaughtered and murdered during WWII?
You're mistaking an attempt to bring light to other atrocities as an attempt to downplay the atrocities inflicted upon your people. That's not the case. All that's being said here is that Jews weren't the only ones killed. So why do history books read that way?
Just stop being so insulted and open your eyes to the fact that while your brethren may have come closest to extinction, other races were treated just as inhumanely. It's not an insult, it's a fact.

This. This is exactly what this thread is about, unfortunately there are a few people who can't seem to get past some sort of personal complex to see that. It's been stated throughout this thread by a number of people, yet apparently it's still flying over some heads.
