It was 6 million jews, but I think like 10 or 11 million people were killed in the holocaust, so there were plenty of victims that weren't jews...political dissenters also got sent to concentration camps...also various disabled people.

And that hatred of the disabled continues among Neo-Nazis today. I recall an interview years ago with a guy who had dropped out of the Aryan Nations here in the Northwest. He had recalled when his son was getting surgery for a cleft palate, a fellow white supremacist told him, "You know he'll have to be euthanized, don't you?" That was more than enough for him to see how insane his friends were.

No s**t. I never implied that the Jews were the only victims. I'm saying that I thought it was common knowledge that the number 6 million only applied to the Jewish victims and that the other victims also numbered in the millions, in addition to that.

The Israeli government is a good example of someone who's forgotten the holocaust via their policies regarding palestinians...As for the various groups of Islamic terrorists I don't think they really give any sh*ts about the holocaust.

In their defense I think the lesson they learned was not to be a victim any more.
