+ The Holocaust +
It is only right to place the Jews first on the list of the Nazis' victims. Over 6 million Jews were killed.
However millions of Catholics and other Christians were also killed. No one knows exactly how many. I've seen claims of up to 42,000,000 but I could not find documentation for this number.
One example, over 6 million Poles perished during WWII. That was 22% of the population of the country. 3 million were Jews. Almost all of the others were Catholic.
Also remember most the the allied military dead were Christians.
+ Pope Benedict XVI +
The Pope is not and never has been a Nazi. He unfortunately was born and grew up in a country ruled by the Nazi party.
All non-Jewish boys were required to join the Hitler Youth. The Pope was also drafted into the German Army. These forced association did not make all Germans Nazis.
Thank God that you and I live in a very different world that your grandparents and the Pope did in 1930s and 1940s Germany.
+ With love in Christ.

Have you read Martin Gilbert's "The Holocaust: A History of the Jews of Europe during the Second World War"? If not, read it.
For someone who claims to care about the Holocaust so much, you know frighteningly little about who and what was really responsible for it - and who and what did all they could to aid the Jews during that time.

Shalom!
You are a little bit mixed up. Hitler was not a Christian. He was an atheist an anti-Christ. In fact he persecuted and suppressed the Christian churches in Germany. It is all in the history books. Hitler was convinced by the atheist Nietzsche that it was alright to slaughter 6 million Jews. The German people had no choice but to obey Hitler.
May Yahweh bless you and keep you!

That would be catholics, not christians-there is a distinct difference. Germany was the "Holy Roman Empire".

Catholics are Christians. Catholics and Protestants are all Christians. They all follow Christ.
