I know you're probably a disingenuous stormfaggot, but still:
>Why there are more museums dedicated to holocaust than to any other genocides in history?
- It happened in many different countries so there's a global interest in upholding the memory, not merely a national one.
- Most countries it happened in are First World by now, which means a) every country is rich enough to operate its own museum for its own victims, b) First World countries tend to be liberal democracies, i. e. their governments can't tell you what you ought to remenber and what to forget.
- It didn't happen in some backwater African shithole no one knows about, but in the very heart of civilization.
- Holocaust survivors spread across the whole world after WW2, bringing holocaust remembrance in every corner.
>What makes the holocaust so special compared to other genocides?
- Its industrial scale
- Its cold-blooded bureaucratic nature
- The fact that we still have contemporary witnesses
- The fact that it coincided with the most devastating war in history
- The fact that it stood at the end of an era and marked the beginning of the modern age
- The fact that we can feel its effects to this day (e. g. Israel, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the concept of crimes against humanity, the idea that nations can't do as they wish within their territory but that there's something like an international community that has the responsibility to intervene if human rights are theeatened)
