ok, lets do this math, in 9-11 2996 people died and it improved our airport security. then 6 million jews, not including all the other genocided peoples, plus the people that died in the war over this, 10 million russians alone, if you chose 9-11, you are just uneducated
no 9-11 was worse bc it was an attack on our home country that started a war and caused about 99% of the current national debt and all able soldiers in all military branches to get shipped over seas. the holocaust was one crazy persons ethnic cleansing and he killed one person, himself, and also the holocaust was in europe. 9-11 was in this country right on our home soil. so 9-11 was worse then the holocaust
The last 12 years have been horrible for America, and it doesn't effect my existence, so yeah I'd stop 9/11. Who knows what could happen if you stopped WW2? I mean you know you would have avoided THE most horrible conflict in human history, for our timeline. It may have lead to an even more violent conflict later down the line.

People forget if the holocaust wouldn't have happend the us wouldn't invent the atom bomb and Russia would and they would most Likely destroy the united states and China so they would become the next Nazi Germany
Preventing the Holocaust would cause a massive difference in history in terms of families. Some of you guys wouldn't have been born if it was prevented.
First, you cannot answer neither to a question like this because it is a "would you rather" inquiry. Saying that the ideal answer is neither defeats the purpose of the question. Second, the nature of causes and effects over time effectively reduce the choices of the question to preventing 9/11 or preventing both. By stopping the Holocaust you change the course of actions taken over the next 70 or so years, resulting in a world where 9/11 does not occur. For people arguing that there is a chance you would not have been born without the Holocaust happening, the chance is actually 100% as the events leading to anyone's birth after the Holocaust would have been different and produced and entirely different population. As such, the question must be approached in the present tense of the situation, as if you were alive at the time of the event. Third, the argument that the developments that occurred as a result of the Holocaust were important and should not be prevented cannot be proved or disproved, as we have no way of determining what would have happened without the Holocaust, for better or worse. Thus, I base my answer on the pure value of human life, which cannot be refuted unless you follow some kind of non standard moral mindset. The Holocaust had a greater negative effect on human life than 9/11, so it should be prevented.
Without the Holocaust Germany might have won the war. It lost so many brilliant minds, able bodied soldier, wasted so many resources and faced so much more resistance both internal and external. Who knows what the cold war would be like. Stopping 9-11 might allow us to avoid a war, as heavy of an economic melt down and a lot of other world wide issues.

if you were to stop the holocaust, the world would be drastically different, and i dont want to take the chance that it would be worse. at least with 9-11 there would be less of a difference
9/11 was positive in a lot of ways too. After 9/11 we had more security in airports, Osama Bin Laden was killed and our country became more united since everyone was going through similar things
guest from California, United States 8 months ago:
However, the Holocaust was quite a lot of time ago. As a result, it may prevent many millions of influential people from having been born. 9-11 was so much more recent, drastic effects would not take place.
Holocaust was gruesome but formed the world as it is now. Something similar like the Holocaust would've happened sometime anyway if it didn't happen. Comparing both evils, WW2 was the more important necessary evil. Therefore, stop 9-11.
