    Some, like Mel Gibson's dad, would say it never happened in the first place. But the holocaust did happen, and large scale ethnic holocausts have happened since and continue to happen. they just occur in places like Africa that we don't really care about. Your question should be, can the holocaust ever happen again to white people or in an area that America has a significant financial stake? and the answer to that would be "no".

    Yes. Mass genocides (over 300,000 people murdered for no reason other than their race, religion, location, or ethnicity) in Rwanda in 1994, in Cambodia in 1975 - 1979 by the Pol Pot Khmer Rouge, and in our time, in Darfur in the Sudan, starting in 2003.

    What makes the holocaust unique is that a major advanced world nation - Germany -- systematically planned and carried through the extermination of millions of Jews, Roma (Gypsies) and Russian and Polish prisoners of war, and other groups to "sanitize" Europe for the master nordic race. I do not think that this level of genocide as a national project will recur. This is what makes it unique.

    History is ReOccuring . . your question SHOULD be, " Could the Holocaust happen again as it did before ?" because it'll happen , just maybe worse or not as bad !

    Yes. I expect it to happen again, but this time the victims will be elderly, mentally deficient or insane, and those in prison. Who will argue that those sentenced to life in prison shouldn't be killed to reduce costs? Who will argue that people who aren't ever going to be released from mental hospitals or nursing homes shouldn't be eased out of this life? Think about it and remember you might be included.

    Events of a similar nature is happening as we speak, in places like Africa. Very sad
