    there has not in human history been a larger industrially organized murder of a people.

    In a period of just 100 days 1,47 million jews were systematically targeted and exterminated. That’s nearly double the rate of the Rwandan genocide.

    If you put it like that Rwanda’s manual genocide sounds evilly impressive.

      Oh yes the Rwandan genocide really was incredibly brutal. If there had been a strong state apparatus I have little doubt that they could have matched the Holocaust rate. The intention was certainly there.
