Unfortunately, I believe we have new examples of genocide in some parts of Africa now--we just don't hear about them as much.

Sadly there are too many examples, both recent such as Congo or Rwanda
and forgotten ones from last century such as the Armenian genocide by
the Turks in 1915:

My father fought in the islands to our north in WWII and later died
too young from jungle diseases as a consequence. I am one of those who
has difficulty forgiving the generation in Germany and Japan who
perpetrated the horrors of that war. I have close links to Germany now
but I still have a difficulty with the culture.

Yes, genocide was hardly invented by Hitler; he was just incredibly adept at carrying it out.

Alan, your reaction, like Loretta's is perfectly understandable.
