Hi,
The other one was the most barbaric crime in history.
One of the most barbaric crimes in history, certainly. *The* most? Probably not. Read about how Tamerlane treated Persia, Afghanistan and Northern India. Or what Genghis Khan did to the Arab world. Or the Roman "final solution" for Carthage.
Again, we arrogantly think that everything near us in history is the worst, the best, the biggest, the most important. Actually, all it usually is is recent.
