Although I do agree that the Holocaust is one of the commercially most over exploited events of history, I can't say that a political explanation is prefereble to a more "humanized" one. History shows that merciless killing has no political affiliations, nor is it bound to any specific region. In short, anyone, anywhere is a potential murderer. And to reduce nazism to a tool in the class struggle, like TJM does in their comment, is to paint the picture with too few colours since that explanation doesn't offer a reason for the killing of millions of jews who, at least most of them, where not part af the working class.
