I'd actually say science has killed more people than anything else.
I mean, how effectively could we wage war without anything more complex than sticks and our bare fists?

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but not much more.
We could always capture wild cheetahs and train them to attack our enemies. If they get out of line we show them who's boss by beating them with our sticks.
And as for the topic, I think slavery IS worse because you have to endure a lifetime of pain and suffering, there was the same type of family separation that the holocaust had, and the worst part, it's still prevalent in many of todays societies. Some slave owners were worse than others, but one that rings a bell is Ancient Egypt...they were treated like absolute shit. They barely god fed, what they were fed was just enough to live, they got whipped and beaten, and had no free will. During the holocaust, a lot of them believed (or wanted to believe) they would survive and this was all temporary, only to find out at the end that it wasn't. I would have rather been gassed.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
