History / Was the holocaust by Germans in Poland the worse genocide in history? [210]
To begin with, There's a definition for genocide - Killing your own people is awful yet it's not a genocide.
The Holocaust however was one of the biggest genocides in population (if not the biggest) - but it's more about the percentage - Hitler decided to kill all the 11 million Jews in Europe and he's done pretty well - considering he killed 6 millions.(54.5%)
It was of course very brutal - I won't bring here pictures since I can't look at this horror (People were so thin that when they get a proper meal, from the Americans,Russians,British soldiers after defeating Germany they died because it was too big for them). There is no other story of such an obsessive ethic hatred (Not even the blacks in America or the Jews of Europe in the middle ages). When Hitler was confronting a decision whether to use trains to send some more Jews to the death camps or to send some supply to his soldiers - he chose to send the Jews, he taught in German schools the race theory(According to it: Aryans:Germans, French, British, Dutchs,Belgians and Nordic people are the best, then the Slavs:Russian,Polish,Ukranian and Eastern Europe's nations and finally the Gypsies and Semite: Jews, Arabs - and the worst among them are the Jews).
In this aspects and in many other this was the worst genocide known in History.
