I am sure if the Internet were around during the Holocaust, people will fight against bringing it up by bringing up things like segregation, lynchings etc. in the US (definitely huge problems and evil, but nowhere as evil or large scale as the holocaust).

Why wouldn't they bring up the war crimes and unrestrained murder of civilians instead? People seem to have a very romanticised view of the allies. We were the victors so we gloss over the horrors committed by our own hands.

Civilian causalities in Germany and Japan was about 12 million people. 6 million died in the Holocaust.

Ok? And America and most of Europe and Russia would have very much liked to not ever have a second world war at all. Russia lost over 16 million of their own people ffs.
