The Holocaust: The Kurdish Genocide

The holocaust was the reason for about 6 million people to have lost their lives but what if you found out the much more torture and terror was created than just in 1933-1945. Almost 2 million people perished in the 3 major genocides that occurred after the holocaust.The Kurdish Genocide took the lives of almost 200,000 people by Saddam Hussein. The East Timor Genocide, when Indonesia invaded which resulted in 400,000 deaths. The Rwandan Genocide although was very short it killed about 1 million people of the Tutsi tribe. were all very saddening and horrific much like the holocaust but do you ever think where the people who decided to wipe out 100,000’s of people got the idea?

The holocaust is to blame for creating the ideas and methods of mass murder, and influencing the Kurdish, East Timor, and Rwandan Genocides. Not only I have compared but many other people around the world are realizing that the Holocaust could be a goal of some leaders of genocides and that maybe if the holocaust never existed many other genocides could have been prevented.
