If you asked a German during the Third Reich why the Jews needed to be removed a third might have answered that they were an "inferior race" (there is no such thing according to evolutionary theory); these would be the racist Germans. Another third would probably answer that the Jews were international bankers that were keeping down the German worker; these would be the Socialist Germans. The final third wold answer that "The Fuhrer said he would drive them out like Jesus drove out the moneylenders, and avenge his blood upon the cross"; these would be the Germans who were "Christian"(in the tradition of Martin Luther and others).

I have given evidence in the numerous quotes I provided that directly used Christian rhetoric (blood upon the cross, moneychangers in the temple) to inflame sentiment against the Jews. Did you not read it?

I am in no way covering for the "race-creed" of the Nazis; I only believe in one race, the human race. I in no way denied that they believed in eugenics, racism, or superior and inferior "races". To do so would be historical revisionism of the same stripe as saying that the Nazi's were atheist, when they cracked the heads of and arrested atheists for being "anti-State" (they are obviously thinking too much and questioning authority).

I am not trying to deflect blame upon "Christians". The blame is with Nazi's and Nazism. The Nazi's were motivated (in speeches by Hitler) against the Jews because they were an "inferior race", because they were "international moneylenders", and because they were "Christ killers". To deny this is to deny history and fact.

In a speech delivered April 12, 1922, published in "My New Order,"

"My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter."

"In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was his fight against the Jewish poison."

Your analysis of nazi anti-semitism is shallow. You left out Bolshevism and the Judeo-Masonic Conspiracy, for example. You seem not to realize that the Nazis subscribed to the theory that Judaism itself was a conspiracy to rule the world, as described in the "Protocols of Zion." Goebbels wrote in his diary that Hitler believed the Protocols were genuine. As far as they were concerned, Christianity was part of this Jewish conspiracy.
