Answer 1

Adolph Hitler said: "Today Christians ... stand at the head of [this country]... I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity .. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit ... We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press - in short, we want to burn out the *poison of immorality* which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of *liberal excess* during the past ... (few) years." [The Speeches of Adolph Hitler, 1922-1939, Vol. 1 (London, Oxford University Press, 1942), pg. 871-872]


"I believe today that I am acting in the sense of the Almighty Creator... I am fighting for the Lord's work" ------ Adolph Hitler in 1938.

Answer 2

Not guilty at all.

We had no personal involvement in the atrocities of a megalomaniac.

Some of Adolph Hitler's speeches sound great, but that does not mean he was a born again Christian, he was a panderer to the Christian majority in Germany and it's conquests.

His beef with the Jews was financial. He attributed the economic downfall of Germany to the Jewish bankers.
Before Hitler took office, it took a million marks to mail a postcard. When people were paid for a weeks work, they took the money directly to the stores and spent it all because the next day it would buy half as much. I have talked to people who lived through this era.

Answer 3

I think it is horrible that Hitler could have killed anyone, let alone millions of jews. But why should I feel guilty of this crime. I did not commit it. That is like blaming everyone for someone killing someone on the street, or for the millions of abortions, or anything else- As a Christian these things make me grieve, and yes, even angry at times, however guilty no, because we are only responsible for our own sins-

Answer 4

Whoa! Yousucka:

You're going insane! They just wanted to know if they feel guilty about the Holocaust. Sheesh.

I, however, am an Athiest and I don't feel guilty about the Holocaust. Sure, I think it was cruel and inhumane about what happened, but it doesn't in any way affect me. We did all that we could to inform people and no one seemed to care. I was no way involved in it, so why sould I feel guilty?

Answer 5

This question is so harsh. I mean, just because a white, Catholic person headed the movement, that doesn't make a it a white OR Catholic movement. Don't most races and religions have things that they could feel guilty about? Wouldn't you say it's more just a matter of people being inherently bad?

Answer 6

stupid question. Christians did not cause holocaust, a madman did. Do you feel guilty about beheading non-muslims and killing innocent people including children in your people's suicide bombings? I think you should and like I said before, holocaust was caused by a madman, not by a Christian religion.

Answer 7

No guilt im British born of no german descent at all my grandfather fought in the war so what guilt should I have so you are really asking a silly question why not ask the people who fought for germany if they feel guilty and stop classing us all as one

Answer 8

i don't sense in charge because of the fact "Guilt" means that I had some variety of involvement or i replaced into complicit and did no longer something. i think a super degree of unhappiness as quickly as I see video clips approximately it, unhappiness that one man or woman can do this to a various and sweetness how maximum of folk might have participated in it. I certainly have studied the Nazi’s and the Holocaust for YEARS, attempting to comprehend why it got here approximately. What might desire to force somebody to hate communities of folk a lot that they had to exterminate them? tried to comprehend the way they might get maximum of prepared individuals, from the guards on the camps, the persons who operated the gas chambers and crematoriums, to the death squads who went to newly conquered German territories and rounded up Jews and easily shot them there. I certainly have studied for years and that i purely can’t draw close it and that i concern i will in no way have the skill to comprehend it. Do i think guilt, No yet do I cry as quickly as I pass to the Holocaust museum in Washington DC? the respond is confident. Hitler and his SS followers weren't Christian; Hitler had renounced Christianity and replaced into very in touch in symbolism and the Occult. Himler replaced into in the technique of coming up a sparkling Nazi faith with deep roots in the occult. the full Aryan race replaced right into a delusion; they have been a race of folk who have been meant to be descended from God’s. Hitler figuring out the Germans and different Nordic peoples, as “Aryan’s” replaced into the 1st steps in instituting this new faith they have been to create.

Answer 11

I am a bit 'ticked' that Muslims and Jews accept the '2 or more witnesses' principle, and Jesus gave it to the Christians, but 'we' (as a whole) in USA are not applying it. In effect, the Muslims and Jews are ahead of us. And part of the Holocaust may be related to it.
