versus 10.5 million people of eastern Slavic origin. Why has the Holocaust
received all the press?
The Nazis made a point of openly hunting Jews with a large public campaign of anti-Semitic propaganda. The others, they killed when they found them, but they did not put huge publicity into hunting them all down.
Also, Jewish victims could all be counted as single large group of 6 million. Most of the non-Jewish victims were not part of a single large group of victims.
In the end though, there should not be a disparity in how genocide is viewed. The problem in my view is
not that the Jewish victims of Hitler are given too much press, but rather I think the problem is that the world ignores most other genocides.
If every single occurrence of genocide received the same coverage that the Nazi slaughter of Jews is given, the world would not be nearly so tolerant of genocide.
