20 years later, I'm guessing the numbers would be different, and that's in large part thanks to Schindler's List.

However:

I strongly feel there have been too many "Holocaust" films in the intervening years, and this has "desensitized" many people's response to the event. Academics are calling this "Holocaust Fatigue."

Which is why the otherwise decent demonrail666 thought it was okay to make a sick, neg-rep worthy pun at the expense of victims.

I wonder what would happen if for the next decade or so there were a bunch of "slavery" films released every year? Soon enough, I bet it'd become a punchline.

 

You tell the truth.
