The Church's relation to the holocaust is that the Church saved hundreds of thousands of Jews, Hitler attempted to destroy the Church, and many many priests and nuns were murdered in the Nazi death camps. The Vatican was surrounded by Nazi troops.

In response to the nonsense about the Church "not doing enough" I would like to know what Jewish leaders did to oppose Hitler in Germany. I have never heard any discussion of very active Jewish opposition to Hitler until the Warsaw Ghetto uprising very late in the game. It is my understanding that Jews attempted to ride Hitler out and thought it would be futile to openly oppose the Nazis. No criticism there, Hitler was a maniacal mass murderer.

What did Jewish leaders do to oppose Hitler?

Uh, in the end, get the hell out of dodge. You think street protests would have worked?? And we are talking about different timescales here. Early on, the Church excused a lot of the anti-Jewish laws.

I totally agree with everything you said. Why do the Jewish people blame the Pope fr not doing enough when I never hear what the Jewish Head Rabbi of ROME did???
