Here we go again
I have nothing against people who make movies about THE holocaust, I do however have a lot against the amount of it.
Yes it was a terrible event and yes it DID happen and yes it is necessary for people to be made aware of such atrocities through popular art, literature and cinema but why does it almost always focus on THE holocaust? why isn't there more movies about
massacres that happened more recently?
I don't think there are anyone in the "Western" world who has not heard of the systematic racial purge that happened in the Second World War but while we watch and study the history of the Holocaust most of us ignore the fact that many of the refugees arriving in the developed countries came from places where genocide are not seen in their history books but is happening in front of their eyes.
Do we not owe them our attention by making others aware of their condition as well?
or are they not relevant enough because they do not share the same history as we do?
