So I shouldn't place some blame Christian Europe for the Holocaust?

1. Christians DESTROYED the Holocaust. The soldiers of the allied armies were overwhelmingly Christian - as the crosses above their graves at Normandy attest. Churchill and Roosevelt sang "Onward Christian Soldiers" at the Atlantic Conference. 2. Your blaming of Christians reminds me of Father Coughlin blaming Jews for communism in Russia because a disproportionate number of the Bolshies were Jewish. 3. Are you saying there was no antisemitism in the world before Jesus? What about Xerxes, who tried to wipe out the Jews but was foiled by Esther? 4. If Christianity is to blame for antisemitism, how do you account for Muslim antisemitism?

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

You claim that most soldiers in WWII were Christian. That is of course true. There are a lot more Christians in the world. The Western world had systematically killed a large percentage of the Jews generation after generation, leaving only a small number left in the world. Those left, however, fought and died along side the Christian soldiers in WWII, in the very same proportion to their population in the U.S. as did Christians, serving as both officers and enlisted men and women. The Jewish War Veterans association is just as stong in support of a strong U.S. military and just as proud as any other veterans association. Their 2004 calendar is on my wall as I write this.

If you want to look at it that way, then Christians created and DESTROYED the holocaust before the numbers went past 6 million Jews killed off. And won WW2 from the Nazis.

DISCLAIMER: Yes, Nazis exterminated many others besides Jews
