Slavery and the Holocaust.

Paper Summary:

The institution of slavery in the United States was a barbaric system. Without doubt, it was an institution that had its element of physical and psychological abuse and degradation. In many respects, however, it cannot be compared to the Jewish Holocaust under the Nazis. Indeed, the enormity of the Holocaust is so great that it is difficult to categorise it with other cases of mass killing or systems of oppression. This is in no way to minimise the barbarity of American slavery, but the Holocaust was, after all, the only case in history where there was the attempted destruction of an entire group of people.
