The pygmy holocause and the Canadian holocaust Museum

Perhaps this article in today's National post con the Pygmy holocaust (A14) is a fitting conclusion to the argument about the Human Rights Museum. It should not be about which holocaust is bigger or better, or which is more significant or universal in its application. It should be about galvanizing all those that are concerned about current holocausts to act on behalf of those who are being or might be killed. This includes Pygmies in the Congo area, Coptic Christians in Egypt, Bahais in Iran, gays in most Islamic countries, and I am sure, many, many others. Ideally it should be a museum to encourage our citizenship to think about, and help prevent, discrimination purely because of race or religion.
