Holocaust denial - rampant in both the US and Israel - requires maintaining the myth that the Nazis targetted only Jews when in fact they were a minority in a much larger project, which was the elimination of non aryan people, Jews as well as Slavs and Gypsies. Demonization of Pius XII is part of that project.

"The Holocaust" (Churban 'Europa') was the attempted annihilation of the Jewish People, at least in Europe, and possibly in the world. While other "non-Aryans" were certainly victims, the Nazis were absolutely fixated on The Jews whom they regarded as the source of all the evils in the world. The idea that the Nazis wanted to exterminate all "non-Aryans" is ridiculous when you consider their "non-Aryan" allies (Japanese and Arabs).

There were also collaborators in almost all the occupied non-Nordic countries.

In a way I don't have a dog in this fight, as I object to both the idea that defense of Pius XII is an essential component of conservatism and to Jews who want to turn belief in the Holocaust into a religious dogma while not giving a flip about liberal theologians who deny the Biblical events. However, some FReepers are playing a very dangerous game here. If "the Holocaust" encompassed everyone persecuted by the Nazis (and the Jews were targeted for extermination, not persecution), then you might as well add the homosexuals as well (which they themselves have been loudly doing for some time now).

The funny thing is that Slavs and Gypsies are both Aryan people (Indo-European).
