Colonialism had its horrors. And - yes - Britain, France and the US have committed their share of atrocities.

However, the genocide committed by the Germans in WW2 has no equivalent: the systematic utilization of a modern industrialized state apparatus as a machine for the efficient slaughter of people has no equivalents.

There have been other genocides. Nothing as systematic, planned, and evil as what the Holocaust represents, however. Thankfully.

I think that is what peter was saying.
