History has many examples of root and branch genocides, such as the Holocaust.
In 1904 the Germans tried to totally eliminate the Hereon tribe in Africa, ultimately killing about 55,000, and I believe there are other cases where in remote areas one tribe or group was subject to total genocide, as were whole civilizations in ancient times. Rwanda may seem to come close, but the genocide there was in its extent and comprehensiveness not an act of state, but of killing initiated by those in power that spread as a contagion to random killing of Tutus. Nor was the mass murder of Armenians by the Turks during and after WWI similar to the Holocaust. Pockets of Armenians were allowed to survive, as in the capitol, and when turkey invaded Armenia the genocide of Armenians was limited. So, if one wants to claim uniqueness for the Holocaust, which I do, then that must rest on sheer number of Jews to be killed off and the central planning involved.
