I don't know how Hitler and the Jews made it to this category,
but I am foolish enough to respond anyway.

I believe that the genocide of the Jews in Europe is more publicized
than other cases.  I see that someone (Greg Kuperberg) only thinks
that the Japanese only murdered 500,000 POWs.  Maybe he is right.
However, I think that the 5 million Chinese should be included, too.

Consider, Idi Amin killed at least 1 million
     Joe Stalin     "     "    "   20  "
     Mao Tse Tsung  "     "    "   25  "

So, based on scale, Hitler is not the worst.  Even on percentages
I don't think he would win this dubious distinction.  Here in the
US, almost 100,000 (estimated) were killed in our Revolutionary War.
Quite astounding for the total overall population.
