Thankfully, the whole ordeal had the effect of, once and for all, denouncing biological racism as an acceptable thing amongst civilized nations. Not that it was the end of biological racism, of course, but it was a crushing blow to its credibility among rational minds.
    Indeed, and I don't think that the intense focus on Holocaust is necessarily a bad thing, as at least it teaches a valuable lesson about genocide. I just wish people would acknowledge the multiple ethnic cleansings that were taking place simultaneously around the world, and that most Germans did not know what was happening. As I said before, how many Americans knew what was really happening to the Japanese that were rounded up, or care? Americans were just as easily swayed by racist propaganda into allowing the government to haul away their fellow countrymen to internment camps. Thankfully things turned out differently for them.
