And to be fair, the Holocaust was quite similar to slavery in its barbaric nature and for the most part, the Jewish folks have moved on. Do they remember? Yes. Is it an outrage? Sure.
Do they kvetch about the chains and gas chambers holding them back today? Not so much.
My earlier comments aren't aimed at all black people in the world. Just the hyperbolic fella who kept referring to slave masters and chains and whatnot.

It will be interesting to see how this changes in the next 20 years or so, since the number of those who were actually in the camps that are still alive is falling quickly and those who were guards or in other ways responsible is falling even more quickly. (since there are survivors who were under age 18 in the camps, but very unlikely to be any guards that were so)
