Those atrocities happened quite a bit earlier than 1930 (for the most part, anyway).
The concentration camps (for native americans) were still active well into the 20th century. And even today, most of native americans live in lands ("autonomous regions") that they were send by the government, not their actual land (that their tribes lived in), and there's a lot of wrong-doing and resource grabbing in those areas.
As for the blacks, the legal system offered segregation until the sixties and the infamous "Jim Crow laws".

These camps are not the same as state sponsored execution.
That's what concentration camps are. You concentrate a demographic into a camp - it's a concentration of that kind of person. 'Concentration camp' is not a synonym for death camp.
Doesn't make it any less worse does it.
Yes, but he also didn't add the massacres and concentration camps for Native Americans (of which, Hitler writes in his Main Kampf that it was an "inspiring" solution to the problem), or the enslavement (any different than prison?) of black slaves, and their executions, lynching.
