If you do not know about the holocaust, please take the time to read a bit about what went on. It was a time when a people allowed a new government to take away their religion, burn their books, turn brother against brother, family against family. Such atrocities were committed by man against man, it is a disgrace to the entire human race. It is a shame that the Catholic church backed the Nazis rather than standing up for human rights. It was certainly mass genocide of the Jewish people but also many others. His master plan was to rid the earth of dark people. Thank God he was insane and his insanity was our savior. When he sent his troops into Russian and divided them to fight on a second front, it was the beginning of the end for him and his ideas. Had he not done that there would be a whole lot less of brown eyed people and a whole lot more people speaking German.

Not just Jews, anyone who didn't fit Hitler's idea of a master race.

The Catholic Church did NOT back the Nazis! The Catholic Church saved 860,000 Jewish lives. The second largest group of Holocaust victims were Catholic. At least 3000 Catholic religious (brothers and sisters), deacons, priests, and bishops were imprisoned at Dachau alone, and many did not survive.

The mass extermination of anyone who did not fit the picture of the Aryan race, and the answer to Hitler's "Jewish Question"
