| They shove the Jewish holocaust down our throats! They force it on kids in school, they lead you to think that the only peoples ever wronged were the Jews. Millions upon millions died in WW2, yet all you ever hear about is the Jews. Everyone knows Hitler, but how about Stalin? There are an awful lot of "holocaust survivors" out there too.
Greece was devasted in WW2. The population decimated and yet to recover. Great book about it is Inside Hitler's Greece. |
Sadly, you're right. Holocausts as bad if not worse than the one in in WW II occurred in Greece/Armenia, Camobodia, Rwanda, USSR and other places yet we ignore them. As a teacher I'm ashamed of the fact that I too have failed to properly bring to light these atrocities. If it makes you feel any better, in our history text the word holocaust only appears once! It's as if no one wants to acknowledge anything bad in history. The Jews won't let it die; good on them. But we Greeks have a better history, a closer connection to Europe and are the reason London isn't a suburb of Berlin! Greeks died in greater numbers than ANY group in Europe and you're right about how badly our population was decimated. To boot, we, as OFFICIAL policy, put more effort into saving Greek Jews than any of those pissant cowards in Europe. Even Israel recognizes this. Yet, no one sticks up for us. Abominable!
