I think you have confused Jumper’s looking for clues as to what caused Hitler to wipe out 6 million Jews with “sympathy”. And MORE importantly perhaps, what are the causes and circumstances for the German people allowing it to happen. It is obvious from Jumper’s post that he does not agree with Hitler’s views - but trying to understand where those views came from.

My 8th grade daughter did a video presentation on the Holocaust, and from the questions her class asked (it was a parent’s night thing) it was clear that they did not know about the Holocaust.

Questions like “How could you kill 6 million people - that’s a lot of people.” (To me sounding like the kid didn’t think it was true). “How come nobody stopped him”. And most importantly “How was this allowed to happen?”.

And I agree with others that to put Hitler (or Stalin, or Mao, or Pol Pot,.....) in the category of an evil monster is to minimize the role of the society that allowed them to gain power in the first place.

What type of soil is OUR society of today creating and what might spring up from it? Or should I say has sprung up from it.

Nonsense.

Herr Jumper stated that the Jews had to be eliminated because of the threat to the great reich that they posed. Please explain exactly what threat a nine year old girl or a seventy year old woman or a cripple posed to the nazi war machine.

Herr Jumper stated in his own words that the nazis murdered these millions to eliminate "hungry mouths to feed".

If you want to side with a fascist nazi apologist go right ahead....climb down into that swewer and wallow in it.
