    Again I'm not sure thats strictly true. The fundemental issue behind the Nazi Policy was that the people they were getting rid of were the opposition. The objective was to purify the German people and eradicate the corruption which had undermined their culture.

    This is exactly the arguement still being used today by countries to justify persecution of their particular 'unwanted' people, and it was the basis for most previous massacres throughout history.

    e.g. They are not the same as us, therefore, persecuting them is acceptable.
