Although the residents of Dresden can point to how they were killed industrially too. He's got a point, why does one group get so much of the attention in documentaries etc?

If you add up all the casualties, including Soviet citizens, you can see there are quite a few large groups who died in WW2.
I’m not diminishing any of the other casualties during the war but the holocaust was an attempted genocide and was the most brutal. It’s not that those lives were worth more than others, just that the purpose of those killings was the complete extermination of the Jews.
As horrible as Dresden was, our aim was not the complete genocide of the German people but just to bring down the regime. I’m not defending the bombing of Dresden though, just saying it’s different from mass extermination of a people.
