EH> EH>> What Christians outside of Germany joined Hitler?

EH> VH> Catholic Balts, Orthodox Ukranians and many others.

EH>How many others?

Many European countries were allied with the Germans (for example,
Italy, Rumania, and so on.)  In many others, collaborationist
governments cooperated with the Nazis.

EH> VH> There were Norwegian, Dutch and French collaborators, Italian facists,
EH>Rumanians,
EH> VH> Croats, and on and on.  Most of the people who did the dirty work in
EH> VH> the Holocaust weren't German.

EH>But were they Christian?

Yep.

EH> VH> A hell of a lot of them did.  Even in the United States, we turned
EH> VH> away the Saint Louis.

EH>What does this have to do with Christians?

The population of the US that turned away the Saint Louis was not Muslim
or Hindu.  And that is true for all other countries that turned it
away.

EH> VH> Some did.  Certainly Orthodox churches were anti-semetic and
EH> VH> preached pogroms.

EH>"Some did?" Some is not many.

How many does it take?  The churches of Germany were formed into an
official organization to support Nazism.  Very few pastors and bishops
opposed Hitler.

EH> VH> The people who perpetrated the Holocaust, and those who failed to act
EH> VH> soon enough to stop it.  Europe and America.

EH>Failing to act soon enough isn't the same as sponsoring the Holocaust.
EH>Until the Allies had over run many of the camps most outside the Nazi
EH>regime knew the extent of the Holocaust. Being ignorant of what was
EH>going on isn't sponsoring the death camps.

Actually, we did know.  What we could do about it is another question,
but we did know.
