Erm, the Jewish Holocaust was happening in a majority state, meaning inside the confines of a country. We, as a global populace of humanity, operate completely independently from each other aside from political and economic bonds.
I think you missed Jack's point. Sure, racism and genocide is looked down on by many many many people in the world, but it doesn't make it any less real within the confines of a nation. In the case of the Holocaust, I'm pretty sure that genocide played a more minor role in the global scale of warfare to the strength of our Allies. IIRC, it wasn't until we invaded German-occupied territories that we realized the scope of what was happening during that regime. It's sort of like saying that our Civil War began because of slavery, which is dead wrong.
Or if you want to put it in a modern day context, in many African countries undergoing tribal / civil warfare for example.
