We're causing air pollution that will kill as many people as 25 Holocausts.

"Jewish history is in large measure a history of holocausts," he said that day.

Is like, Jesus Christ it's so f—– every day now, holocausts, it's like baking cookies.

Jacques Pépin, who wrote the classic "The Origins of AIDS," Timothy Snyder on various holocausts.
|
|
And if that means allowing holocausts to happen and children to be murdered, so be it.
|
|
Countries without Holocausts on their history books can also learn from Germany's grown-up, vigilant and dutiful culture of remembrance.
|
|
Our best-case scenario is basically one in which we lose the equivalent of 25 Holocausts — and that's just from air pollution alone.
|
|
Holocausts to idols was the accepted form of worship -- just like how we were all taught to give up soda or chocolate for 40 days.
|
|
The result of following The Economist's advice about the Irish famine of the 1840s was "on par with the better-known holocausts of the twentieth century".
|
|
If we don't avoid 2 degrees of warming just from air pollution, 153 million people would die from it, which is 25 Holocausts' worth of people.
|
|
The number of people killed from a first strike by the United States would amount to what he memorably calls "a hundred holocausts" (600 million people).
|
|
Today, 2 degrees — a level of warming that might induce death from air pollution on the order of "25 Holocausts," Mr. Wallace-Wells notes — is looking like our best hope.
|
|
She rejected nationalism and war, and realized that human history was littered with the psychic-spiritual wreckage of numerous holocausts — and that such horrors were still playing out in her own time in such places as Vietnam, the Middle East and Africa.
|
|
Or like his statement that a "nuclear holocaust would be like no other," as if this were some profound epiphany and he needed to share it with the many unsuspecting Americans who thought that there were all sorts of holocausts and the nuclear variety wasn't really so bad.
|
|
In fact, we could potentially avoid 150 million premature deaths by the end of the century from air pollution (the equivalent of 25 Holocausts or twice the number of deaths from WWII) if we could limit average global warming to 1.5 degrees or hold warming at 2 degrees without relying on negative emissions.
|
|
What makes the book so difficult to read is not just the eye-popping stats, like the fact that we could potentially avoid 1503 million excess premature deaths by the end of century from air pollution (the equivalent of 25 Holocausts or twice the number of deaths from World War II) if we could limit average global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius or hold warming at 2 degrees without relying on negative emissions.

Examples are Rwanda, Ukraine under Stalin, and the actions of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. In order to suggest comparison with Nazi murders other historical events have also been labeled "Holocausts", for example the oppression of lower caste groups in India ("Sudra Holocaust") or the slave trade ("African Holocaust").

Wilson was also an active advocate for environmental and anti-nuclear issues, and published on both topics. In 1984, Wilson became the founding co-ordinator of Architects Against Nuclear Arms and was also a member of the Pacific Institute of Resource Management and the National Consultative Committee on Disarmament and Abolition. Perhaps his most significant published work in this area is a 2001 book titled "Five Holocausts".

In "Out of Time", Bob tells Nathan that Adam was the one who suggested the group of twelve come together, and suggested holocausts and plagues to help save the world, claiming that Adam felt he was a god. Nathan notes that Adam's plans sound like Linderman, and Bob tells Nathan that Linderman was his disciple. Later, Peter returns to Montreal and hears a noise. He sends a bolt towards the intruder, but the bolt is blocked by a hand, and it regenerates.

Meet the Applegates (released in the Philippines and the United States as The Applegates) is a 1990 American science fiction horror black comedy film directed by Michael Lehmann. It was filmed in 1989, but not released in the United States until 1991 due to the financial difficulties surrounding New World Pictures, the film's production company. It takes a dark, satirical look at the end of the world, nuclear holocausts, alienism and terrorism. It was filmed in Oshkosh, Appleton and Neenah, Wisconsin.

Unlike other accounts of the Holocaust and genocide, How Holocausts Happen focuses on the citizenry served or ruled by genocidal governments rather than on the governments themselves. Porpora argues that moral indifference and lack of interest in critical reflection are key factors that enable Holocaust-like events to happen. He characterizes American society as typically being indifferent to the fate of other people, uninformed, and anti-intellectual. Porpora cites numerous examples of U.S.-backed Latin American government actions against their own peasants, Indians, and dissident factions.

His first book, Balkan Holocausts?: Serbian and Croatian Victim Centered Propaganda and the War in Yugoslavia, compares and contrasts Serbian and Croatian propaganda from 1986 to 1999, analyzing each group's contemporary interpretations of history and current events. In 2015, The National Post explored MacDonald's analysis of the Croatia–Serbia genocide case. Agreeing with the ruling to dismiss both cases, MacDonald was sceptical of either Serbia or Croatia having committed genocide, writing that it was "not enough to kill people, or move them around and steal their land".

On April 24, 1944, at Pyrgoi (Katranitsa) took place the biggest slaughter of Greeks civilians (after this Kalavryta) by German Nazis and their local accomplices. The events of April 1944 were later the subject of dozens of documentaries, and generated wide interest. Among the atrocities that were committed by the Nazis, 368 men women and children were killed and burned alive. Colonel Karl Schümers, commander of the 7th constitution armored Grenadier police of the SS, was responsible for the holocausts Pyrgoi, Kleisoura Kastoria, Distomo Boeotia which killed 862 men, women and children.

Nathan asks Bob about "Adam Monroe," one of the founding members of the Company. He tells Nathan about the early days of the Company, when Adam convinced them they all belonged together to make the world a better place. Bob says that the "visionary" Adam is the one trying to kill them and he's using Maury as his "blunt weapon", to kill those in the Company. Years before, Adam talked about holocausts, plagues, and punishing humanity to save the world, thoughts shared by Mr. Linderman, a "disciple" of Adam.

As the living conditions in the sertão became even more difficult, emigration became the only option for the victims of the drought. By the middle of the summer, in Inhamuns’ sertão, for example, only 10% of the population waited at their homes for the drought to be over.Mike Davis, Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World, (London: Verso, 2002). P. 84 With the public policies encouraging emigration, retirantes fled to the coastal settlements, to the Amazon, to the Southeast, and to any other settlement in the Northeast that had not been affected by the drought.

Yehuda Elkana, Berlin 2011In 1988, in an article published in Haaretz, Elkana challenged what the role of memories of the Holocaust, which he called 'the central axis of our national experience,' in Israeli identity. He criticized the custom of repeatedly taking schoolchildren to Yad Vashem. For Elkana, Holocausts can happen to any people, and the message is universal. When "anomalous incidents" are reported, referring to things done to Palestinians, the initial reactions of his acquaintances, he claimed, were to deny such things happened, or to dismiss them as symptomatic of a reciprocal hatred between Israelis and Palestinians.

Varro (1st century BC)Varro, Divine Antiquities, book 5, frg. 65. distinguishes among the di superi ("gods above"), whose sites for offerings are called altaria; the di terrestres ("terrestrial gods"), whose altars are arae; and di inferi, to whom offerings are made by means of foci, "hearths," on the ground or in a pit. In general, animal sacrifice to gods of the upper world usually resulted in communal meals, with the cooked victim apportioned to divine and human recipients. Infernal gods, by contrast, received burnt offerings (holocausts), in which the sacrificial victims were burnt to ash, because the living were prohibited from sharing a meal with the dead.

Dan Stone writes that since the opening of archives following the fall of former communist states in Eastern Europe, it has become increasingly clear that the Holocaust was a pan-European phenomenon, a series of "Holocausts" impossible to conduct without the help of local collaborators. Without collaborators, the Germans could not have extended the killing across most of the continent. According to Donald Bloxham, in many parts of Europe "extreme collective violence was becoming an accepted measure of resolving identity crises". Christian Gerlach writes that non-Germans "not under German command" killed 5–6 percent of the six million, but that their involvement was crucial in other ways.

Trinity's Child is a 1983 novel by William Prochnau. The book depicts a nuclear war waged between the United States of America and the Soviet Union."Nuclear Holocausts: Atomic War in Fiction, 1895-1984" by Paul Brians, Kent State University Press, 1987 During the waning years of the Cold War, the United States has engaged in a massive military buildup, hoping to press the economy of the Soviet Union to breaking point and so force them into political compromise. In the book's scenario, hardline elements pressure the Soviet Premier into launching an attack on the US before it has the chance to squeeze the Soviets any more.

By the end of the meeting, all of this text had either been removed or toned down. One such phrase removed was a mention of "holocausts" suffered by other peoples, which had been seen as an affront to the memory of the Jewish victims of the Nazi holocaust. South African diplomats had already told Arab and Muslim countries that they would have to offer text that could describe the current situation without using such language as "ethnic cleansing practices against Palestinians". Nonetheless, the United States, objecting to the remaining text, decided to send a low-level delegation, headed by Ambassador Michael Southwick, to the Conference, rather than have United States Secretary of State Colin Powell attend himself.

The themes of war, nuclear holocausts, environmental devastation, and human vulnerability have dominated much of Bonifacho's work, as noted in an article by social activist and author Christian Parenti in his comments about Bonifacho's 25-year retrospective show at Belgrade's Progress Gallery (Galerija Progres) in 2000.Parenti, "Art in the Enemy Camp; Letter from Bohemian Belgrade", p. 26 The first paintings to gain Bonifacho critical acclaim in Canada were the Blackboards series produced between 1978 and 1982.

Verso, 2000. p. 7 and the Indian famine of 1899–1900, in which 1.25 to 10 million people died.Davis, Mike. Late Victorian Holocausts. 1. Verso, 2000. p. 173 The famines were ended by the 20th century with the exception of the Bengal famine of 1943 killing an estimated 2.1 million Bengalis during World War II. The observations of the Famine Commission of 1880 support the notion that food distribution is more to blame for famines than food scarcity. They observed that each province in British India, including Burma, had a surplus of foodgrains, and the annual surplus was 5.16 million tons (Bhatia, 1970). At that time, annual export of rice and other grains from India was approximately one million tons.

So long as the Temple stood, offering certain korban to God was obligatory.Jewish Encyclopedia: Sacrifice ...compulsory or obligatory offerings (private and public praise-offerings, public holocausts, and others). After the destruction of the Second Temple during the Siege of Jerusalem (70 CE), korban was replaced with works of mercy.Babylonian Talmud, Sukkah 49 Rabbi Elazar said: One who performs acts of charity is greater than one who sacrifices all types of offerings, as it is stated: “To perform charity and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than an offering” (Proverbs 21:3), including all types of offerings. And Rabbi Elazar said: Acts of kindness, assisting someone in need, are greater than charity, as it is stated: “Sow to yourselves according to charity, and reap according to kindness” (Hosea 10:12).

Paul Brians' Nuclear Holocausts: Atomic War in Fiction (1987) is a study that examines atomic war in short stories, novels, and films between 1895 and 1984. Since this measure of destruction was no longer imaginary, some of these new works, such as Nevil Shute's On the Beach (1957), which was subsequently twice adapted for film (in 1959 and 2000), Mordecai Roshwald's Level 7 (1959), Pat Frank's Alas, Babylon (1959), and Robert McCammon's Swan Song (1987), shun the imaginary science and technology that are the identifying traits of general science fiction. Others include more fantastic elements, such as mutants, alien invaders, or exotic future weapons such as James Axler's Deathlands (1986). In Stephen Vincent Benét's story "By the Waters of Babylon" (1937, originally titled "The Place of the Gods"), a young man explores the ruins of a city in the northeastern United States, possibly New York, generations after a war in which future weapons caused "The Great Burning".

Fischer is a proponent of interreligious dialogue between the world's religions, stating: > I feel that in our period it is the challenge of religious traditions to do > something more than simply reassert and reinterpret their faiths, hoping for > loyal adherents to what they perceive to be the true doctrine. Looking back > at the last century, with its devastating wars and holocausts and the shock > of ecological vulnerability, I have the sense that religious traditions must > now have a wider mission, and it is in the recognition of this mission, I > believe, that interreligious dialogue becomes something not only polite and > interesting, but also essential. He currently sits on the Board of World Religious Leaders for the Elijah Interfaith Institute, an interreligious dialogue organization. In July 1996, he attended a five-day meeting between members of different religions held at The Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in Trappist, Kentucky, where he gave a talk about Dogen, zazen, and the importance of religions coming together—despite their different philosophies—to serve humanity.

This movement is about fostering "global, radical, unapologetic self love which translates to radical human love and action in service toward a more just, equitable and compassionate world". It strives to reduce violence against people who have been marginalized and had violence perpetuated against them, including > "...racist violence including lynching, slavery, holocausts, and internment > camps...LGBTQIA people being assaulted, murdered and driven to suicide > regularly...rape and sexual assault...the bombing of abortion clinics and > the murder of physicians supporting women’s rights to autonomy over their > own bodies...involuntary sterilization of people with > disabilities...debilitating shame that people around the world live with as > a result of the psychological attacks our social and media machines wage > against us, ending in bulimia and anorexia, addiction, stigma, racism, > homophobia, ableism, sizeism, ageism, transphobia, mass self-hatred, and > senseless violence as a result of body hatred." The movement has also come out with the RUHCUS Project (Radically Unapologetic Healing Challenge 4 Us), an exercise that takes place over 30 days aimed at helping people in their goal of body empowerment. The medium that their movement uses to get their message out is Facebook, Tumblr, and their website .

Historian Mike Davis, author of Late Victorian Holocausts, draws comparisons between the Great Chinese Famine and the Indian famines of the late 19th century and argues that both the Maoist regime and the British Empire share the same level of criminal responsibility for these events respectively. Michael Ellman is critical of the fixation on a "uniquely Stalinist evil" when it comes to excess deaths from famines and asserts that catastrophic famines were widespread in the 19th and 20th centuries, such as "in the British empire (India and Ireland), China, Russia and elsewhere". He argues that a possible defense of Stalin and his associates is that "their behaviour was no worse than that of many rulers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries". He also draws comparisons to the actions of the Group of Eight (G8) in recent decades, saying "the world-wide death of millions of people in recent decades which could have been prevented by simple public health measures or cured by application of modern medicine, but was not, might be considered by some as mass manslaughter—or mass death by criminal negligence—by the leaders of the G8 (who could have prevented these deaths but did not do so)".
