I do find it interesting how the extermination of jews by nazis has managed to eclipse other genocides from the last century. I'm by no means a holocaust denier, but I do believe that the establishment of Israel after the war has led to a number of figures doing their best to elevate its position in history in a bid to justify their own, often rather dubious, political ends. Germany certainly doesn't have a monopoly on modern-era fascism, as Israel's treatment of Palestinians over the last few decades proves.
