there will be another one around the corner that happens in the future that i"m not supposed to forget either.
It does nothing.

Like hell, you can't even bring up genetic consoling without someone calling it Nazi like eugenics.
Until we start having genocides again in the developed democracies you really can't be sure not matter how strongly you state it.

You can point to ethnic cleansing, mass torture, experimentation, etc. All of these things are shared between the Nazi's and other mass murderers. But when you add in the fact that they took the industrial assembly line and made it into an massive, rationalized killing machine... you have a unique event.

Only in method, genocide is genocide, be it Soviet starvations or Nazi camps.
I think it was more circumstantial then anything else. In Europe with the population they wanted to eliminate, they had to round up into camps, and they used the most efficient method of killing while getting some use out of them.
