I'd say that the crazy eugenicist "scientific" ideology that became ascendant in the late 1800s is directly responsible for the holocaust. One could also name materialist evolution as the basis for much of the murderous activiy of the communists. Oh no, the hands of materialist "science" are not clean at all. Not by a long shot.

Sorry bud, but Hitler (a self described Catholic) sold the Holocaust to the German people (mostly Lutheran and Catholic)as revenge for the killing of Christ.
Communists believed in Lamarkian evolution (Lysenkoism) that is as unsupported as a scientific theory as Communism is unsupported as an economic theory.
Eugenics is anti-evolutionary as it assumes that humans and artificial selection know more than natural selection. Eugenics would try to "breed out" or eliminate sickle cell anemia genes, a really BAD MOVE where malaria is endemic and the Sickle cell anemia gene MUTATION leads to NATURAL SELECTION whereby a high percentage of the population is heterozygous for the mutant allele and therefore malaria resistant.
