....but could hitler have enabled anti-Semites to attack/etc Jews AND could they have gotten away with it?....I grew up Catholic and we were never anti-Semitic..we were never indoctrinated that it was the Jews' fault ..and I went to a pre-seminary high schoolThere is certainly a tradition in conservative religious circles to blame the Jews for killing Jesus, so I doubt it would have been a stretch for Germany to manipulate that sentiment.
when? I was in high school when Pope John XXlll----suddenly came
up with the novel idea that jews of today have nothing to do with
killing Jesus-------the catholic kids took it well----but some of the
protestants were INDIGNANT. It was about 1964 (?)
People back then----and even before Hitler-----did not NEED Hitler to
attack jews but his MINIONS produced extensive literature
an promulgated it in the USA-------SHEEEEESH you lived a very protected life
