Disparities in media coverage does exist, a fact, I%u2019ve heard more about the Holocaust than the genocide in Rwanda and Dafur combined, as well as the European extermination of 80+million Native Americans. There are classes in my University on the Holocaust, but nothing about genocide, in general, which would cover Rwandan, Armenian, Ukrainian, Russian, Dafur, and Native Americans. There were over 90 million Russian people murdered under Stalin%u2019s fascist regime, along with the starvation of over 8 million Ukrainians. And yes nothing much about the Christian Crusades, encroaching upon and murdering thousands of Muslims. Africans murder other Africans; all across Western Europe there has been territorial disputes, starting with England, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain and Portugal imperialism, which took it among themselves to carve out Africa for their own %u201Csphere of influence%u201D. Likewise, Jews in America were once %u201Cslave holders%u201D, in which many fought right along with Jefferson Davis to preserve to %u201Cantebellum south%u201D.

My appreciation to CBSnews/60 Minutes and anyone involved towards the opening of the Nazi Files. This tiny/huge segment will offer much more to the continuing education about the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. Thank you.

Education is an important value. Without it, people who hate others (and themselves), be jealous, ignorant or indifferent, will need to scapegoat.

The lessons of the Holocaust are not fully learned-- as evidenced by the "new" discoveries of the Nazi Files, and by the expressions of some of the comments posted on this site.

Guess who stated this: "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" answer=Adolf Hitler. With no ongoing education about the prior Armenian Genocide, Hitler knew he could get away with it. (http://www.armenian-genocide.org/hitler.html)

Contrary to 'putting it behind,' never ever stop educating about the Holocaust or any atrocity. Encourage and challenge yourselves to learn vs. to ignore and to hate.

I wouldn't be surprised if the President of Iran is officially invited to visit Bad Arolsen. Not that he would be open to learning or changing views, but whatever his actions, it would be an ongoing learning for everyone else watching. Like a "Borat 2". "LOL"

"Anti-Semitism and Jewish Chauvinism can only be faught simultaneously" - Israel Shahak

These words be heeded by some of the posters here.

Why is this story titled "Revisiting the Horrors of the Holocaust"? From the very first paragraph, the story clearly explains that most of the documents that are finally being released reveal NEW accounts of Nazi horrors kept hidden for sixty years -- it is not a "revisiting" of previously revealed attrocities. A far more appropriate title would have been: "Red Cross Begrudgingly Opens Massive Files Documenting Additional Nazi Horrors".

Mr Pelley
May I remind you that a reporters duty is to inform without coloring or obfuscating the facts. An ommision in your story looms large. Current PA leader Mahmoud Abass is no less of a Holocaust denier than Iran's provactive leader. [see David Bedien 12-19-06 Israelnationalnews.com/article.php3?id=6788]Your selective focus of Ahmindajad to the exclusion of his PA foot soldiers is pathetic.

Why listen to all these people that pretend to know what they are saying. Listen here to the actual former Hitler Youth:

Continuation - and if you think that the Jew haltering of Muslims started after world war 2 I got news for you read some history, the Jews is a nation that stands already 3,500 years since god gave the bible on mount seine to the Jewish people since then in every nation there was a leader or other religion that wanted to destroy the Jew and here you are 3,500 years later and there are over 16,000,000.00 Jews known in the world even after Hitler killed 6,000,000 of them. God is with Jews and in his bible he wrote that in every generation their will be somebody who will want to destroy you but they will not succeed it will come the day god said that I will show the world that there is 1 GOD AND MY ONLY 1 CHOSEN JEWS. When messiah comes

Continuation - go to work and don%u2019t sit around with girls and alcohol, and The second thing that gets upset the Muslims mostly is to see a Jewish religion standing so big and strong and not violent like them the Jewish people really believe in god and pray and hopes that his day should go thru with good luck, and when you take a religion like Muslims that they have a goal the whole world should be like them and they look on such a small religion like Jews holding themselves so strong that is what gets them really upset, and un top of their strong face they are successful in business too then the Muslim is ready to commit suicide on the Jew,

Continuation - Now let me explain you something, the Jews were never violent and the Jews are not haters or blood suckers why because a Jew is a worked out educated mature reasonable straight minded man and they work themselves up very quick, because they hustle go to college not just for degree only because they really want to know there work they go with a mind like I want to have my own business my own company I want to be the boss and that brings a lot of Jealousy to other people but did the Jew do something wrong NO he just worked studied and succeeded, sometimes he seceded to be in the government sometimes he was from the top companies in the stock market and some times he owned billions of dollars of real estate, did he do anything wrong ? no you could too as well
