Textbook Unfairness

Our textbook invariably went through many, many revisions and edits before being published, and that included the chronology of the chapters. I am sure that a lot of discussion went into how to split up the information into separate topics and what information should deserve its own chapter. And yet somehow, despite hours and hours of meetings and thinking, they still got it wrong, because in our textbook, the Holocaust gets described in a grand total of a page and a half.
The Holocaust was the most gruesome example of ethnic cleansing in human history. More than 10 million people died within ten years because of Hitler’s dream of an Aryan race. Because of this event, the Jewish community has lost a huge part of its culture and population. This was one of the most morally wrong events in human history. So why do Duiker and Spielvogel think that we don’t need to learn about it?
This textbook has more than thirty pages about World War 2, and there is a lot of information packed in there, so it is understandable to think that there is not much space to talk about the Holocaust in a certain page limit. Also, there is not enough information solely about the Holocaust to make an entire chapter about it, without delving into relatively unimportant filler for the chapter. In these ways I can see why the editors chose to instead have the Holocaust be just a part of the whole chapter on World War 2.
But despite these logical arguments, the space given to the Holocaust just isn’t enough. The stories of those tem million people deserve more respect than that. A whole chapter is unreasonable, but a sub-chapter is more acceptable. Currently, the chapter is split into 6 parts, each about a different facet of the political or physical struggles of the involved countries. Just one area needs to be devoted to the emotional struggles of the people of Europe, entitled, “The Genocide”, to explain solely about this horrible piece of history.
