There are currently almost twenty holocaust museums in the US alone. One might speculate as to the motivations of their creators--a uniform idea or a collection of related ideas, or perhaps individual concerns--but no matter how you cut it, this is certainly a growth industry. In fact, I have little doubt that we are on the cusp of being forced to make reproductions of prison uniforms and instruments of torture in order to fulfill the needed supply. Or perhaps, when added up with holocaust museums the world over, this is already now standard practice.
Curiously, neither the Armenians, American Blacks or American Indians seem compelled to sponsor or create these museums; nor the gypsies, nor sexual minorities who still can be put to death in over 80 political entities around the globe. Aside from a pro forma case near the end of each existing holocaust museum in the US to explain political prisoners and homosexuals, there seems to be a mechanical repetition in content and intent. Most curiously from the standpoint of any enterprize claiming academic credibility, there is never a debate as to certain numbers and methodologies employed in those dark days of over half a century ago. One may discuss the 20 million Ukrainians and Russians who died in WWII, or the lost numbers of Chinese who were bombed in Nanking or used for the most appalling "medical" experiments in Manchuria (including releasing pestus over an entire city via an airplane to see if the plague could be generated that way); but one doesn't see the questioning of the data which is the standard for all formal history. Instead, the punishment and eradication of one ethnic group becomes a religious benchmark of faith much like the transubstantiation or the Trinity in medieval Christianity, never to be debated of doubted.
All very curious to me.

So does Houston, Texas. The former CFO of ENRON was a major backer of same. All of these so-called museums are in reality museums of hate.

Michael,
I just returned from El Paso, Texas. This city is more than 80 per cent Hispanic, but they have a Holocaust Museum. Can you believe that?
