Why is only slavery and the holocaust focused on?

Rich people from the US supported Hitler's rise to power with large sums of money (been documented). That in itself was a part of the role in the holocaust.

We certainly had a role in ending it, but in the context of what he was saying, that our history attracts a broader audience, I'd say we weren't mentioned in Schindler's list at all. And while a movie like Saving Private Ryan certainly would have the US in a prominent role, any movie on the holocaust, not the war it self, would not have much US involvement.

The story of the Armenian's is very sad and it's virtually unknown to most in the western Hemisphere.

This and the story of the Irish being enslaved by the British with the early settlers. There is the Native Americans being relocated or the Japanese-Americans being put in relocation camps in WWII. Our history is not pretty when it comes to this. That is why I believe that every ethnic, religious, sex , etc group has been persecuted throughout history.

Its perception. Americans connect with the holocaust and treat it as part of our due to the fact that it was a byproduct of a major war we had a very prominent role in. Wheather you agree that they should or shouldn't, Americans connect with the holocaust as if it was our own history. Its probably a means of further demonozing our enemy

The people who founded America are being treated like trash in their own Country by minorities, while the silent Majority struggles to remain quiet, atrocities abound against the very people who protected and created the idea of your personal Freedoms as you know them today.

Not so ironically or mistakably, the same majority are the very persons who can take them away.
