Librarians have found a long-lost diary kept by Harry Truman.

It's unfortunate that his comments could just be dismissed as anti-Semitism, a relic of once acceptable discourse. Truman made one important point.

Consider his thoughts on the Jewish response to other instances of genocide; they seem virtually non-existent. Great pains have been taken to ensure that the attempted genocide of the Jews during WWII will forever be known as the Holocaust, capital H, the one and only.

I don't mean to downplay the vicious murder of 3 to 6 million Jews, but let's not forget that Jews weren't the only ones targeted by Hitler. Also, how about the tens of millions of Christians killed in the USSR? Or the several million Greeks and Armenians killed in Turkey? Or the million Rwandans killed just a decade ago?

I think there is a degree of selfishness in campaigning for the construction of Holocaust museums all over the world while ignoring the equally unjust deaths of many tens of millions of other ethnic and religious groups.

And we shouldn't run from this issue by calling it anti-Semitism; too many questions have been dismissed under that banner.
