"It’s probably the worst thing in history" yeah I know you say probably because you dont know all of history, but what about the nuclear explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, then again neither is worse than the other, there are almost similar types of suffering in each case, but many times this action is overlooked like it was nothing that happened there

This is a very good point. I also think people forget about the Japanese internment camps in the US, not that they were as horrible as the concentration camps, but they are often glossed over in history. There have been some great stories told and movies made in the US that tell the human side of the holocaust. This hasn't been done with the bombings at Hiroshima/Nagasaki. Probably because nobody wants to see a movie about how their own country committed such a horrendous act.

Or the Japanese treatment of the Chinese in the same war.
