Um, yes, while true, they specifically singled out Jews for extermination. That actually does matter here. It certainly doesn’t lighten other crimes, but the actual attempt to wipe out Jewish people is worth noting for that alone. Even the Armenian genocide, which the nazis often compared their attempt to exterminate the Jews to, wasn’t really an attempt to kill all Armenians, as much as it was an attempt to eliminate what was seen as a dangerous political enemy.
