However, we now know when the Allies and the Holy See knew of the genocide taking place, and the extent of it. Sure, they might have ignored the exact nature of the killing operations and the exact numbers, but they certainly knew by 1942 that there was a widespread genocidal campaign against European Jews.<br /><br />Gabriel Wilensky<br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Author <br />Six Million Crucifixions:<br />How Christian Teachings About Jews Paved the Road to the Holocaust<br />http://www.SixMillionCrucifixions.com<br />Follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/sixmillionbook<br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Gabriel Wilenskyhttp://www.sixmillioncrucifixions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-71855434371553838652010-02-05T13:16:15.914-05:002010-02-05T13:16:15.914-05:00If I understand correctly from my considerable rea...If I understand correctly from my considerable reading of WWII history, there is much question about who knew to what extent the Jews were being persecuted and when they knew it. Historians are not even certain what Roosevelt and Churchill knew or when they became aware of the atrocities being committed. I do not believe for one minute that, had he known the full extent of the atrocities being committed, Pope Pius would have ignored them or failed to speak vociferously against them.<br />The horrors were so great that many, including world leaders, could not believe it...so, they didn't. The inability to imagine that depth of horror on the part of Christians and humans, while perhaps naive, is no failure of character. <br /><br />Reading back in, so to speak, from an overly smug and self-righteous 21st century moral superiority begs a very important question. I am also suspicious that it merely represents another Catholic bashing voice from the bottomless, gaping maw of post-modern nihilism.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.com
