It truly is amazing that while most people know almost everything about the Jewish holocaust and the 6 million victims, very few know that another 5 million non Jewish people died in the same Holocaust.

Very few ever mention the 3 million dead among the population in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in the 1960s. Pol Pot killed a million of his own in Cambodia.

Or how about the 1 million Armenians killed by the Turks just 90 years ago?

Not to mention Stalin's and Mao's excesses among their own people.

Contemporary history left to oblivion while only the Jewish holocaust receives over proportional attention.

Stalin starved 30 million Ukrainians to death in the 30's.

That number is high.......the common figures........he killed 20 million of which 14 million died of starvation.

That's probably news to most American kids because it's not part of the annual holocaust remembrance. How many Russian & German civilians do you think were killed during & after WW2? Jews don't have a monopoly on suffering.

I never said they did. What I said was I didn't realize the non-Jew death toll was as large as it was.
