US Slavery and European Jewish Holocaust : The Greater Evil

Introduction

Atrocities against humans have existed since time immemorial . Many have become victims of the cruelties of tyrants and other heinous crimes , and history would forever attest to the suffering of these human beings Fyodor Dostoyevsky once said that man is artistically cruel , and it is an insult to the beast to be compared to man . For no beast can take so much pleasure in intricately torturing another being , in watching with satisfaction the aching spirit of a suffering man . Man can do such evil things , and the extent of immorality and insanity is sometimes incomprehensible

Two of the most renowned crimes against an entire race are the slavery of Africans in colonial America and the organized elimination of Jews in Europe . Some debate whether the US Slavery of Africans is more horrendous than the European Jewish Holocaust or the opposite .

Therefore , this stands that the Jews suffered more than the African slaves in America

The Nazis killed some six million Jews out of the nine million living in Germany and German-occupied territories . They also killed about five million composed of Gypsies and Slavs , who , like the Jews , were considered undesirable . Extreme anti-Semitism was a fundamental aspect of Nazism . Hitler wanted to rid Germanic life of all Jewish influence But the problem he encountered was the method that would best fit his plant in achieving the answer to the Jewish question (History of the Holocaust - 1938-1945-6 ,000 ,000 Deaths , 2008 History of the Holocaust - An Introduction...
