The key word in my comment was "scope", based on the compressed number of years and the number of lives claimed by genocide during WWII. I evidently did not make myself clear. I do understand there have been outrageous atrocities around the world, before and after that time. You seem to believe I lack awareness of those many atrocities and ascribe racism as a reason. That is insulting.

Daria, perhaps Stephen meant no insult and was trying to contribute more info. Those of us who’ve been on this feed for awhile know your scope of knowledge, others may not. I also found myself thinking about other global examples of genocide and injustice that were based on tribe, nation and religion rather than race. Our human history is very dark.
Yes Daria, I meant no insult. When I pushed 'send' I thought oooh, that came out not quite like I intended it...
All respect for you and your contributions here. Yes, I am trying to widen the scope. Having spent time in Indonesia and spoken with people who have first hand accounts, I have to do what I can to widen all of our 'scope'.

Diane, perhaps. You are correct, human history is very dark and is riddled with intolerance and genocide. It's never ending.
