Where is the Washington DC, multi-million dollar museum for the millions of Ukrainians starved to death by the Judeo-Supremacist communist dictator Lazar Kaganovich? Or the Soviet Gulags where between 10 and 30 million people died? Or the Cambodian murder of three million by Pol Pot? Or a museum regarding the slaughter of 30 to 40 million in Red China? Or the millions of Germans after WWII sent to work to death in communist countries?
Or any of the other mass murders around the world?

What makes the holocaust so special, so important to America and its citizens that we must spend $50 million on a museum in the heart of our nation's capital?

"Many Israelis feel offended by the way in which the Holocaust is exploited in the Diaspora. They even feel ashamed that the Holocaust has become a civil religion for Jews in the United States. They respect the works of Alfred Kazin, Irving Howe, and Marie Syrkin. But of other writers, editors, historians, bureaucrats, and academics they say, using the word Shoa, which is the Hebrew for Holocaust: 'There's no business like Shoa business.'"
Jacobo Timerman, The Longest War -- Israel in Lebanon, translated from the Spanish by Miguel Acoca, New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 1982, p. 15.

what about 9/11? only 3000 or so people died in that yet americans spend so much tax payer money for the memorials (not to mention the wars)

Why are there no monuments to the Armenian genocide?
Because it's not in the public eye.

---

WWII had global implications and there was a very real possibility of a Nazi-controlled world.

Anyway, before you post a 20 page dissertation on why the Holocaust never happened, I'm going to go do something that will inevitably be less painful than reading it, like slam my dick in the oven door.

The Holocaust was against the Jews of Europe, completely across the atlantic ocean and not one single American was taken from their home in the US and sent to a camp.

The Holocaust was part of the demoralizing aspect the Nazis threw at us in their quest for world domination. All the other events you mentioned (as well as the one you didn't mention about Stalin's oppressive regime and execution of so many Russians) were "local" to the region they happened in.

This was on American soil and an act of aggression against Americans as a whole.

But yeah we could also extend the memorials to Japanes citizens who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And we could have memorials for all the Native Americans massacred in the US

"Too many books are written on the Holocaust. There are too many films and television plays that exploit the subject such as ... There is a fascination with the Holocaust and with Nazism. There may, in fact, be 'no business like Shoah business'. The problem is that many of these productions, if not most, are historically inaccurate, sentimental, roma[n]tic, exotic, and hyperbolic and so they ultimately distort and cheapen the Holocaust. -- The popularization and commercialization of the Holocaust is not only unhistorical but it is antihistorical ... -- There are still many survivors alive and already their past has been turned into falsification and fiction."
- Michael N. Dobkowski (professor of religious studies), «Germa"n Reunification: a Jewish View", Martyrdom and Resistance, International Society for Yad Vashem, New York, Sept.-Oct. 1990, p. 4.

Maybe we talk too much about the Holocaust but really we simply should talk more about Hiroshima Nagasaki and the Trail of Tears.

Why the discrepancy? Because we Americans were responsible for the massacres of Japanese and Native American people while the German enemies were responsible for the Holocaust. So of course Americans would rather hear about what bad things our enemies have done than what has been done by other Americans (and non German Europeans).  

Maybe we talk too much about the Holocaust but really we simply should talk more about Hiroshima Nagasaki and the Trail of Tears.
