No, You're Wrong
I believe I read somewhere (Mein Kampf excerpt?) that Hitler really liked how the US had handled the Native Americans in terms of things like forced migrations and such. Was this actually the case, and was any inspiration taken from the Native American or any other historical genocides?

Did the Nazis really hate religion? And was the occult stuff serious business or just one of those things that the History Channel likes to overstate?

as a historian (maybe a junior historian) i don't really judge the nazis to be 'evil,' or, by extension the allies to be 'good.' such pronouncements aren't really historically useful. that being said, hitler and the nazis were unique, and the holocaust is distinct from other genocides that came before and have come sense.

Can someone expand more on the bolded? I've heard the Holocaust is unique in terms of the industrialization of the process and also possibly in terms of scale, but are there other unique features as well?
