I understand...but so what if it was unique in this way? Let's say that instead of slaughtering the Jews Hitler merely ordered their expulsion...even if it was systematically done, and done along racial lines...I would hardly think it would be as relevant.

Yes, it was unique...and it's alarming because it shows that a modern nation state can do what we typically are indoctrinated to believe they can't; here you have the industrial and scientific establishment being fully complicit in mass murder. In that sense, it's much more relevant than, say, the Mongolian genocides.

But I'm loathed to suggest it's somehow worse....

Hitler's initial plan was to move all Jews to Madagascar but the conference in Wannese in January 1942, Reinhard Heydrich revelaed that the Germans have perfected a Gas which can kill humans in less than 2 minutes where as before the Gas took 15 Minutes.

So in camps like Aushwitz can kill 30,000 Jews each day.

As for the Mongol Genocides, they were barbaric in their own sense but to me thats like the German invasion of the Soviet Union in which 27 Million Russians died.

The difference however is the fact those Russians mostly died due to battle related deaths where as Jews were rounded up and killed.

For example in the Bosnian War, 100,000 Serbs, Croats and Bosnians died.

But we still remember the massacare at Sebrenicia where 8,000-10,000 Muslim men were rounded up and killed.
