In re: Yeah, the Holocaust really happened, a reader writes: “Americans might also remember this is a two-way street. With secret torture camps spread around Europe, we aren’t cutting the best figure either.” In fact, we had the same thought ourselves when posting the item.
We also had another thought: How come we keep harping on the Holocaust, which happened more than half a century ago, when we’ve said so little about recent genocides, like the genocide in Rwanda, or the current genocide in Darfur, or for that matter, the genocide of the Armenians — the first Holocaust of the 20th century, if you will — which we’ve never mentioned at all?
No answer, except our own inadequacy.
