Well, for one, I never said it was Jews making that argument. Actually, it's usually leftist secularists, I have no idea what race they are. But I hear it all the time. I got into a twenty page war about the issue on the Charlie Rose boards, and -many- people, many of them who claim they are Christian themselves (all of them lefties, of course), never tired of making the point that primarily Christian Germans were to blame for the Holocaust, and it represented a failure of Christianity, and Christianity is guilty of that crime. The exact same point was repeatedly made about pogroms and how that was due to collective Christian bigotry.
And oh man, if you think that the Lutherans aren't dismissed collectively as massively anti-semitic on a -regular- basis, your eyes are REALLY closed. They're the only group I can think of that gets bashed even more than Catholics for anti-semitism, and they get it -constantly-.

Let me recommend a good book for you to read: Ominous Parallels, by Leonard Peikoff. Aside from the obvious Objectivist boosterism, he goes into how and why the German people allowed, voted in, caused Nazism to happen.
Hint: It was the intellectuals, not the Christian Germans that were/are at fault.
