No, english is not my first language (not even second). Here in Brazil we don't have a strong influence from the jewish culture.

When I say "rich jews" I could be saying "rich whites" or black "community". I really don't see how that could be impolite. Maybe not the best choice of words. But I do apologize if I offended someone.

I know pretty well that jews were not the only victims and surely not all of them were rich. But that was not my point.

I understand the importance of WWII and the holocaust. But the holocaust was not the only genocide of WWII (Hiroshima?), and surely not the only in our recent history.

So why do we focus so much on it?

I honestly think that the influence of the jewish culture is the primary reason. I don't think that's a jewish conspiracy. Just a consequence of history.

But I don't see anything particular about the holocaust that makes it more important than everything else.
