Why is the Holocaust a big thing?

Because many millions of people were killed because of their identity or aspects of their identity - faith, family nationality, disability and sexual orientation, and not for any misdeeds. (The estimated number will vary depending on the definition of the Holocaust). The experiments alone on many of these people were horrific and inhumane. We complain about lab rats or experiments done on monkeys and yet the atrocities done on fellow human beings were done and were largely overlooked at the time, even by those fighting the Third Reich. No one should be treated less than human because of ANY factor.
