I am amazed that with God on their side it took so many books of the Bible for Israel to wipe out the Amalekites. And wiped out they were .. under orders from god (1 Sam. 15:2-3). Sounds like a Holocaust to me, but who am I to question the will of God. Like I said before, the records of the Torah survive, but those of Amalek don't, and so goes "history".
