Was the holocaust by Germans in Poland the worse genocide in history?

80,000,000,000

During Mao's era in China... 50-80,000,000,000 were killed.

nese killing other Chinese, that's much different than Holocaust. Was Holocaust of Jews worse or not, It's a matter of personal perspective I think... It was definitely one of the worst genocides in the history. I don't like it when sometimes, especially in the USA, It's been treated like a main event in the history of mankind but It definitely does deserve attention.

To be honest, it is overlooked in the USA. USA is focused on US history, not world history. World history is very brief. The start and end of WW1 and 2 were somewhat meaningful but the holocaust was mentioned, maybe for a week. Slaves in America, very little causualities ( a dead slave isn't a working slave ) ... was more focused on, not to belittle them but I thought atrocities around the world should be more equalized so that America ( the world power ) will see/ sympathize with all likes of people rather then blacks, very little sympathy for native-americans (God knows how many were killed), and the Jews.

Holodmor is a Ukrianian was not a genocide it's part of Bandera type Ukrainian Nationalist anti Russian rhetoric, there was a famine in the whole of the South West of the USSR not just the Ukriane.

The international legal definition of the crime of genocide is found in Articles II and III of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide.

Article II describes two elements of the crime of genocide:

1) the mental element, meaning the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such", and

2) the physical element which includes five acts described in sections a, b, c, d and e. A crime must include both elements to be called "genocide."

Article III described five punishable forms of the crime of genocide: genocide; conspiracy, incitement, attempt and complicity.

Jews get the most sympathy from any group. They also have the most lobby groups, most cash from the event, they are still bothering the Germans and others for billions of dollars and property 60 years after the event!

Look at all the hollywood movies about the Holocaust (and most dont mention ethnic Poles).
How many Holocaust museums are there? Plenty.

Blacks suffered equally if not more and there is very little money involved, no reparations, nothing.

As for the Holocaust, You are forgetting the gypsies and the genocide of the Serbs in WWII plus the 20 Million Russians killed, the Jewish holocaust is NOT a myth, but more attention should be payed to other victims aswell.

11,000,000 at most of all people died.... I think 8 million.

For all with highest and lowest estimates

I hear about the holocaust all the time from western outlets... it is shined upon the western world as the greatest of holocaust, they might even blame Poland for these atrocities... but from what I understand they want muslims and the entire east to take these crimes into their heart.During Mao's era in China... 50-80,000,000,000 were killed. That is 10x the amount that Hebrew's claim, while in all we never hear about this because what?I want to know if you agree or disagree about the world's worst genocide.... was it in the east or the west, did it take place in Poland or somewhere else?

They claim 2 million Poles died instead of 3 million...

Genocide isn't a competition,

This man talks sense

Plutarch claims that Alexander the Great was so distraught over the death of his friend Hephaestion that "....he went into the country of the Cossaeans and for no reason massacred the entire nation."

A slight over-reaction, methinks.

The whole "3 million" stuff was taken out of nowhere and can not be proven in any way, I don't understand why It still is treated as a kind of official figure...

Genocide isn't a competition

Indeed it is the most sickening story about Alexander that I know and there is no dearth of other stories relating his obnoxiousness and brutality. I suppose one could, as with his treatment of the corpse of Batis the defender of Gaza, attribute this horrific action to his penchant to imitate Achilles, but Achilles only sacrificed twelve live Trojans on the pyre of Patroclus. Who knows how many Cossaeans paid with their lives for Alexander's grief?

Alexander couldn't get into India though
