Good movie!

source: How the Holocaust Began

Interesting title. Dull execution. Makes you wonder who finances these, and why these people focus on that one specific evil over all other evil. The holocaust killed 6 million people. WWII killed 60. Stalin killed over 80. Mao killed over 100. I guess it's much easier to study the holocaust because it's very neatly documented, more inhabitable than Siberia & closer & safer than China? And what about North Korea, TODAY? The writing is also lazy and the historical accuracy questionable. The holocaust is presented as "the greatest crime in history". Says who? Why? How? I can think of a lot of massacred peoples who'd rightly take offense to that. How stupid is that assertion of "greatest crime"? "Hitler had always envisaged a world free of his 2 greatest enemies: jews and communists". Says who? How about no? Ask any historian, that's just not true. "His plan had always been to get rid of them entirely". Well, again, no. In Mein Kampf Hitler explains that for a message to scale to an entire population, it must be simple: you can only have ONE enemy, because people at scale can't handle nuance. Enters the Jew. It's explained very well in the book. He disliked the media, finance, foreign powers, all these became "the jew", so when Soviet Russia wasn't an ally anymore, they just became jews in the narrative for simplicity. I think we're doing society a disservice by focusing on the holocaust as somehow "super evil", and we conveniently forget all other evil. I guess it's comfy to roam Germany looking at old documents, after your day you can safely eat schnitzel, drink beer and feel smug about yourself. Do this in Russia, China or North Korea and you'd risk your life. How many more holocaust documentaries do we need? As i write this, almost 40% of ratings are 1/10, so i'm not alone.
