I remember thinking that the Holocaust could never happen again...but it did with the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia from 1975.under Pol Pot... genocide episodes in African countries. Now the disappeared children from the Mexican border ...and what else?

Pat - Thank you.
The world let the unthinkable happen. The fact that it DID happen is still unthinkable. We as humankind must transcend ourselves and rise to the level of civilized beings befitting of our intellect. I hope.

Abuse, terrorism, hatred, and bizarre beliefs are something that the world will always deal with so long as there are people who wish to rule the world. The Holocaust was a sickening reality where persecution was inevitable from the mind of a monster lacking in empathy and all other forms of emotion, feeling, and humanity.
Hitler was a monster, and there are many political leaders who appear to follow his lead, but anti-Semitism in Europe did not begin with Adolf Hitler. Though use of the term itself dates only to the 1870s, there is evidence of hostility toward Jews long before the Holocaust–even as far back as the ancient world, when Roman authorities destroyed the Jewish temple in Jerusalem and forced Jews to leave Palestine.

The Holocaust has put a lot of things in perspective If we think we have it tough, odds are we really do not.
