I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. I see it in movies and books. Really disgusting. There were plenty of others that were targeted in the Holocaust. Yes, the Jews may have been the main focus for Hitler and his henchmen, but the Roma(gypsies), homosexuals, mentally/physically challenged children and adults(euthanasia programs were in different places in Germany and Austria, I believe at the time for the sole purpose of extermination of these people, especially the children), Poles, Ukrainians, Russians, Communists among others. Yet most of these movies and/or books or articles don’t focus on these populations like they do the Jews. It shows the biasness of our corporate mainstream media and the companies/publishers/writers/directors etc. I mentioned Ukrainians above b/c even though a lot of them did cooperate with the Nazis, like the Banderites did, there were many I’m sure who did not. One example of this is a recent episode of Law & Order that depicted pro -Palestinian protesters as antisemitic in that in this episode a Jewish professor was brutally murdered by a pro -Palestinian activist encouraged to do it by a woman of middle eastern heritage. It was so blatantly obvious as to what the producers of the show were trying to depict right up to the ending where two young men get in fist fight in the courthouse after the trial. One was of Muslim or Arab ethnicity and the other I presume was Jewish. It’s so blatantly biased in this way.
