I like the museum but you left out whole groups of people. The Holocaust had over 6 million people who were not Jewish who died during the Holocaust. And to deny them is just wrong.

[ushmm]

@proverbs1722 The US Holocaust Memorial Museum agrees it would be wrong to deny there were non-Jewish victims of the Nazi regime. Our mission expressly includes mention of non-Jewish victims: "The Holocaust was the state-sponsored, systematic persecution and annihilation of European Jewry by Nazi Germany and its collaborators between 1933 and 1945. Jews were the primary victims--six million were murdered; Gypsies, the handicapped and Poles were also targeted for destruction or decimation...

@proverbs1722 (cont'd) for racial, ethnic, or national reasons. Millions more, including homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war and political dissidents, also suffered grievous oppression and death under Nazi tyranny.”

As such, the Museum's exhibits, programs, and research include the experiences of non-Jews targeted by the Nazis for perseuction and/or decimation during the era of the Holocaust.

[ushmm]

@proverbs1722 (con'td) The Museum's permanent exhibit, "The Holocaust," prominently discusses the persecution and murder of non-Jews in several sections, including "Enemies of the State, "Terror in Poland," and "Prisoners of the Camps." You may also be interested in our online resources discussing the persecution of non-Jews. At our websit , please search "Victims of the Nazi Era," "Mosaic of Victims," "Euthanasia Program," "Blacks during the Holocaust" or "Polish Victims."

@Alimantado91 not trying to bash on anyone but i agree but i have seen any Native Americans here doing a monument there and have not plan to build one. I have some here never plan for once. Same with Australia too who butchered thousands of native indians in Australia.

[Alimantado91]

@Hperman09 Well timed Hper09. I've just started reading Histories Of The Hanged, Britain's dirty war in Kenya by David Anderson. Britain played a huge role in the extermination of native peoples everywhere. I'd hold up Britain's Opium Wars and subsequent capture of Hong Kong as a good example of imperial violence and hypocrisy. As Orwell said "The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them."

[Hperman09]

@Alimantado91 Where is a monument for the Mau-Mau uprising that British tortured and killed thousands of Kenyans during the 1950s? Don't see for that either. The British also established a Nazi-era style camp. I'm not denying the killing of native Americans but highlight UK history first. It's a lot worse than U.S. history.

@mattbaldea It was it!

Ezekiel 11:17

“Therefore say: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will gather you from the nations and bring you back from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you back the land of Israel again.’

[mattbaldea]
