The Nazi's killing the jews was a terrible, terrible thing that should never have happened. Note that this was yet another example of killing being conducted in the name of god. Another example of how bad religion is.
Quote:
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
(from "Mein Kampf", Volume 1, Chapter 2, by Adolf Hitler)
Also note that the jews are NOT innocent either. The sacred jewish texts say that non-jewish people should be killed:
Quote:
"Those who do not confess the Torah and the Prophets must all be killed. Who has power to kill them, let him kill them openly with the sword, if not, let him use artifices till they are done away with."
(the Jewish Talmud, Schulchan Aruch: Choszen Hamiszpat, 425, 5/50)
