I have to point out that these actions were condemned contemporaneously as well. Even in their own time, by others living through those times, this was considered an atrocity. Standards of socially acceptable harm to minorities may have been different then, but we also know that this was easily recognized as unjust at the time, by the fact that so many people at the time did condemn it as unjust.

Yes but those people were a minority. People condemned genocide against native americans and slavery of africans in their time as well but a democracy means the people consented to the atrocity by plurality. Humans do evil stuff, it is in our nature, even now to think otherwise would only lead to more atrocity we must learn and work hard to resist the evil in our very nature and be strong to resist other evil people, that was the essence of my comment.
