We are the most intelligent species on Earth, but sometimes we forget that we are part of a species that did unspeakable, horrible acts in the past. So, for us not forget these atrocities, here's a quick history lesson:
~~
-Holocaust (1941-1945): 6 million jews, including 1 million children, murdered in extermination camps, in medical experiments and by death squads in the streets of Poland and Germany. These victims who had done nothing, did not pose any real threat to Germans were gassed, burned alive in ovens and slaughtered, just for the sake of an ideology.
-Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (1945): 120,000- 246,000 Japanese people, men, women and children were burned alive and killed in their homes.
-Rwandan genocide (1994): Nearly a million Rwandan citizens were butchered in less than 100 days. Every Tutsi infant and every children that the Hutu rebels could find were murdered. Even pregnant women were sliced open and their unborn children killed with butchered. Former President Clinton said it was the worst decision of his career not to help. This is the dark stain in the UN's history, because they choose not to react, they looked the other way.
-Nanking massacre (1937-1938): Nearly 300,000 Chinese were murdered by the Japanese in a massacre which took six weeks in the former capital of the Republic of China. Japanese officers had a massacre contest of who would first kill 100 people. 20,000 women were raped and then sexually mutilated before they were killed. Young children were also involved in these atrocities, which occured daily during those six weeks.

Have there ever been more horrible events caused by humans than these?
