If slavery, segregation, religious prosecution, mass killings and forced sterilizations took place in the West at some point, does it make those things OK for the remainder of humanity’s history?

No one was perfect at all times from day 1, but we should try to hold our partners, and by implication ourselves, to higher standards now that we have agreed to put the aforementioned actions at the extreme left side of the bad-to-good scale.

Wait and see. Maybe they just need to get their version of the Holocaust to get it out of their system. Deep down, they are good people doing horrific things. So, we just need to let them catch up while they repeat history's horrific acts with impunity.

It’s unclear whether without strong worldwide recognition and condemnation it will ever be out of the system, and I’m afraid what made Holocaust to be recognized and condemned is that those who did it started and lost a violent war against other nations.

(I know you jest.)

Indeed. Thanks for that perspective. Sad but true.
