| One should not distinguish between one set of human beings and an other. The six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust do have a memorial. Only recently have the half a million Romanies who also perished along side the Jews had a memorial dedicated to them. Homosexuals,Retarded people,invalids, those that were brave enough to speak out against the evil of the Nazi regime, some of them Germans also died in Hitlers death camps. Were is their memorial. I don`t know if the Pope`s mention of "millions" as against the specific number of 6 million Jews was intended to include all who died in the concentration camps, but I think he was right. The Nazis exterminated people because they did not fit into their warped vision of what a human being is. We Jews were the greater number that died under that monstrous regime. But if you kill one person you kill the world. He spoke in English. The commandment Thou shall not murder in Hebrew is written as Kill in English. |
