Similarities Between the Cambodian Genocide and the Holocaust

The Cambodian Genocide and the Holocaust have many similarities.  For instance, they both had leaders who did not like a certain group of individuals so they decided that it was okay for them to try to kill all of them.  When the Cambodian Genocide ended the amount of deaths was 2 million.  In 1939, the 2 million Jews were sent to be gassed, to be killed.  They are similar in the way that at least 2 million people were killed because they belonged to a certain group that was disliked by their leaders.  Hitler and Samphan were both liked by the people in the beginning before they found out about the larger amount of deaths caused by them.  The Holocaust and the Cambodian Genocide have many similarities, except the most important one of all is the fact that innocent people were killed.
