Your take is a little simplistic regarding the Holocaust.  The point is well made, aside from the fact that it was [I][B]several[/B][/I] world leaders (and thousands of German citizens) who turned their backs on what Hitler was doing.  Hard to compare a situation that involves thousands who look away versus an individual.  If he wanted to make a better comparison, he could have chosen just about any world leader.  For instance, FDR.  The US is one of the countries that had very strong evidence of what was going on, yet did nothing.  Our government turned away ships of refugees trying to escape before the Final Solution was implemented (many of those people perished).  They refused to bomb the death camps early in the war when they had the intelligence to do so.  All over politics.  Because people didn't want Jews emigrating to the US, they pressured their leaders to turn away the problem.  "If we ignore it, it will go away."

Nothing bothers me more than seeing video of someone being beaten by more than one person and people in the background just standing there.  Watching the Reginald Denny beating on TV, now almost 20 years ago, made me wonder how some people can live with themselves.
