Compare and contrast these two major events.
The great flood of the whole world, together with Noah's Ark etc did not occur, at least to the extent which is decribed in the Bible. The WW2 Holocaust of disabled peoples, Gipsies and Jews did occur.

The Flood - God chose to wipe out his "chosen people" and start from scratch using rampant and unabashed incest. God's reason for the genocide? The wickedness in man's heart.
The Holocaust - The Nazi Party chose to wipe out the "chosen people" using a different medium, gas, but was unsuccessful thanks to Russian and American soldiers. Hitler's reason for genocide? Megalomania.

reason for god's flood: the people were inferior to what god had in mind
reason for the holocaust: the jews were inferior to what hitler had in mind

Ok. I know you're bating me with that " the real one -- the King James Version" remark, 😉 so here it is.
There is no comparison. The flood killed everyone alive except Noah and his family, and the Holocaust didn't.
Actually New Orleans after Katrina might work. You've got the flood. You've got the anarchy and lawlessness. You've got the bloated bodies floating by. All you need is a big ass boat with animals on it and a drunk Noah. And the tour boats. Let's not forget that.
Originally posted by josephw I wonder what a museum for the flood would look like!
It depends on whether it was commemorating the flood itself or the humans that died in the flood, or the animals and plants that died.
If it was commemorating the people that died then it would probably portray those aspects of their lifestyle that lead God to be so displeased.
