RE: What we really need is

There was fundamental difference. While many other people indeed died in the camps, none of those other groups was subject of Final Solution. Simply put - there was no extermination goal set for them. There is some evidence regarding somewhat similar objective towards the Gypsies, about 200,000 of them also perished - out of roughly 1 million who lived in Europe.

Yes, millions (not tens of millions) died of hunger, disease, hard labor and abuse, we should not take those sufferings lightly. But Jews were very special target.

Spielberg naturally picked the subject - I have no issue with that. While I do not consider him skillful director, that part is a personal viewpoint. The importance of that film should not be seen in the same way we consider, for instance, La Strada. It has certain and voluable documentary quality to it.
