You really seem to have
a cognitive problem. So many commenters here have tried pointing this out to you, and now I'm going to have a go. Israel's Holocaust Museum, aka Yad Vashem, is a memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Ergo, they remember and memorialise, catalog and detail, the Jewish victims.

There are memorials to all kinds of groups of victims of WWII. The Holocaust was intrinsically a Jewish tragedy and therefore Yad Vashem and numerous other Holocaust memorial organizations were set up. There is nothing unjust about the website and organization, no matter how much you jump up and down and point and shriek.

1. Wow you went to the personal insults quickly too
And I disagree that the Holocaust was intrinsically a Jewish tragedy. That is the kind of thinking that puts one group above another. The Holocaust was a tragedy in which many different groups in Europe suffered. I think all should be remembered equally. Why do some have such a problem with that?

2. You're the one who has a problem with it
The Holocaust was a Jewish tragedy. WWII was a tragedy for millions of people but the Holocaust itself was a purely Jewish tragedy. No other nation had its babies hunted out of hiding places and killed, its harmless women and children hunted down like animals, rounded up and killed. No other nation was decimated on Europe's soil. No other nation had a full third of its members killed.

And if you didn't know that you're a bigger ignoramus than I ever thought could exist in this day and age of so much electronic knowledge.

3. The Holocaust was a tragedy for 13 million people
from many groups across europe. Namecalling doesn't change that fact.

4. No. You are wrong
The Holocaust was the murder of 6 million Jews. It does not apply to any other massacre. Start reading. Here are some links to get you going.

6. No You're the one who is wrong.
13 million people died in the Nazi death camps. No group's suffering and sacrifice should be placed above anothers. To say this is a tragedy for only one group is rewriting history.
