I had never heard of this "Oberammergau" thing. So, I googled:

http://www.jrep.com/Jewishworld/Article-44.html

Oberammergau is a Bavarian town that has staged the Passion annually over the last 370 years. It remains a big tourist draw.

Here's a quote from the article:

"For Jews, the drama, which blamed them for the crucifixion, has had a darker side. It often stirred the crowds into a frenzy of anti-Semitism. After attending a 300th anniversary performance in 1934, a delighted Adolf Hitler praised the play as a "precious tool" in the war against the Jews."

I'm growing weary of this, making Christians responsible for twisted, intentional subversion of the doctrine. Nazism and anti-semitism is not Christian. Its roots are in resurgent national paganism and eugenics; these were intellectual movements.
