choices : news related : WHY DOES THE PAST MURDERS OF JEWS IN AUSCHWITZ RECEIVE A GREAT DEAL MORE ATTENTION THAN THE PAST/PRESENT MURDERS OF OTHERS IN THE U.S.? [+] serious ballot by Barbara_Baby_Cakes created Thu Jan 27, 05 It was reported that, World leaders and death camp survivors mourned victims of the Holocaust on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, gathering Thursday at the place where Nazi doctors once sent new arrivals to the gas chambers. Some 1.5 million people, most of them Jews from across Europe, died in gas chambers or of disease, starvation, abuse and exhaustion at Auschwitz and Birkenau, the most notorious of the death camps set up by Adolf Hitler to carry out his "final solution," the murder of Europe's Jewish population. Six million Jews died in the Nazi camps, along with several million others, including Soviet prisoners of war, Gypsies, homosexuals and political opponents of the Nazis. I am sympathic to the 6 million lives that were lost during Hilter's murderous rampage. However, why is it that, the murders of Native Americans and Africans to this country during the slave trade (it is estimated that, between 120-150 million Africans died during the trasnportation process to the so call NEW world through diseases, hunger, murder, and suicide)and in captivity. However, if members of those groups discuss marking any anniversary of their history or their ancestors coming to America, and their maltreatment, members of both groups are told to get over it, I am not responsible for what my ancestors did to yours, that is in the past, blah, blah, and some more blah, blah. What are your views about the difference in how people respond to the past/present maltreatement of Blacks, Jews, Native Americans, and other ethnic groups? Europeans work harder at correcting a wrong than Americans. Americans prefer to move forward than dwelling on the past. America haven't been good at acknowledging wrongs Jews run the media, banks, etc. Ballot #65845 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
