Sometimes ago I received an e-mail in which the author argued that the Jews do not acknowledge the Christian victims of the Holocaust:

"You have illustrated very clearly the way those 5 million non-Jews are regarded by Jews: with indifference, a wave of the hand, a change of the subject, and a pounce on whatever arbitrary weaknesses or inaccuracies are attendant within the raising of their specter. Yours was a crystal clear example of "co-opting the Holocaust".

REPLY:
As to the Genocides, the UN accepted treaty defines Genocide as act committed with INTEND to destroy, in whole or part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious groups. The Mexicans, Blacks, Jehovah's Witnesses, Poles, and any other Christian groups, suffered persecutions but were never subjected to intentional destruction as the Jews and Gypsies were.

Let's assume that it is a fact that besides 6.5 million Jews about 5.5 Christians were killed during the Holocaust and we should howl about it. Let's see if we can agree to the following few questions:

1. Who were the killers of the 5.5 Christians?
Answer: Christians without doubt.

2. Who could stop the carnage? Answer: The Christians religious establishment such as the German Lutheran and Catholic Churches, the Pope and the Vatican, etc.

3. How could the stop the killing of Christians by Christians?
Answer: By denouncing it from the pulpits. Hitler, needed he support and admiration of the German people. German women, married to Jews, protested and stopped the deportations of their spouses. The denunciations of the gassing of the German retarded children, stopped the crimes, although for a while only. It worked.

4. What did they do to stop the carnage of their brethren?
Answer: Nothing.

5. Why?
Answer: Because the Princes of the Churches adored the Fuhrer, and saw protection against the "uncivilized" bolshevism and connected with it atheism. The Vatican never broke the Concordat with Hitler, never protested his atrocities, even after the liberation of Italy, when the Pope was free to do it.

6. What did the Churches do to prevent another Holocaust?
Answer: Very little. Mass murderers like father Tiso of Slovakia, were excommunicated. After the war many Nazis were helped in their escape from justice, and masses were held for Hitler on his birthdays, for years and years.

So let's howl together about the Jewish and Christian victims and of the indifference and inaction of the Christian Churches, who alone could stop the carnage.
