When people talk about the Holocaust, they talk about the tragedy and horror of 6 million Jewish lives being lost to the Nazi war machine. But they never mention the thousands of Gypsies that were killed by the Nazis.
No one ever wants to talk about that, because no one ever wants to talk about the positives.

Notes from Wikiquote

The Guardian quoted Olivia Marks-Woldman, chief executive of the UK's Holocaust Memorial Day Trust: "We are absolutely appalled at Jimmy Carr’s comment. ... Hundreds of thousands of Roma and Sinti people suffered prejudice, slave labour, sterilisation and mass murder simply because of their identity – these are not experiences for mockery"
