I had a friend say this once: The holocaust was worse than the Atlantic Slave Trade. He said the thing that made it worse was that the holocaust happened only over a short period of time. I told him how funny when history is taught in a slanted manner people view this same slanted history as the gospel.
It is not to say that the things and atrocities that happened during WWII were not real. However the reasons for the war was not to save the Jews, or to just stop Hitler. We flip flop on the real issues because its easier to blame Hitler. A lot of things happen behind the scenes which is totally different from what is written in the history books.
So why did many Arab nations back the Axis? Why was a country as large as China and many Asian countries ruled over by Japan? Why was America staying neutral during the 30's? I truly believe that Pearl Harbor was another 9/11 so yes people died but was it a reason to go on a killing spree( dropping Nukes) or invade other countries(Iraq/Afghanistan).
The public records which are usually released usually show a totally different picture. There is no difference in what Hitler did politically versus what America and the British government have done in the time after WWII.
It is funny however that one is in the name of Nationalism/Fascism to it is bad and the other is in the name of Democracy so it is good. Funny also how war criminals become heros depending on who wins the war.
