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. Mark Reina
