Without getting into the detail of comparing differences between the persecution of Jews by Hitler based on who they were and partisans and priests based on what they thought, or the extent of Hitlers effectiveness in persecuting homosexuals and Gypsies, what exactly prompts an eighth-grader to write this column for the local newspaper? She doesn't claim to be part of, or related to, any of the persecuted populations. Is she just outraged that Jews get all the attention?

I won't fault her for the unfortunately worded headline.

Millions besides Jews were killed by Hitler's Nazis

"There were so many others besides the Jews."
