"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

What if I told Stalin that I put God before him. Would I still be killed?

Yep, not a very nice guy.

He can't put himself above God.
In Soviet Russia, you can!

The holocaust was systemic, deliberate, extermination of a specific race solely based on a single characteristic person.

Genocide.

That's what is scary about the Holocaust. The fact that we now have the capabilities to exterminate a specific race.

I think it could be something like this. The Holocaust embodied western practices: Systematic record keeping, ruthless efficiency, etc. It made people question whether those were such great things after all and probably hit closer to home than the Gulag did.


Not that I have any right to say anything, considering I wasn't close to being alive at the time and I'm largely ignorant of world history.

Gather around the campfire, once it goes out, it's out for good.

Stalin's land was the land of amnesia.

Not to mention the Holocaust was a massive discriminative event.


You do know what the Gulags were, right?

Why does history remember The Holocaust more than the Gulag?
Am I the only one confused by this sentence?
I thought the whole "more than" part was somewhat funny. Knowing is an absolute state. You can know much about something or just a little but "knowing" is simply an acknowledgement. Hence, you can't remember "more than". Just imagine if that applied in court.

-Do you or do you not remember seeing the person in the picture?

-Let's put it like this, I remember him more than people I see at the local grocery store from time to time.

Like, what does that even mean? It's a completely abstract statement with no direct reference.
