Christopher R. Browning, LINK ] Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland (New York: Harper Collins, 1992).

Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, LINK ]Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1996).

The two opinions differ as to how and why. This forum examined disagreements between the two arguments.

Catholic doctrine forbade Catholics from borrowing and lending money. I hope you're sitting down: Jewish doctrine didn't.

Also, Europe had a centuries-long de facto tradition of giving Jews the "shitty" jobs...like tax collecting and accounting.

When the Great Depression hit, guess who had their shite together, and guess who that pissed off?

This is why i'm pro-smoker even though i don't smoke, that's just an example.. When govt. starts taxing, passing laws etc. for social good it sets a precedent. Sooner or later they come for something that is important to me.

I've always been told that the Jews came up with the concept of charging interest on loaned money. Is that true or was that anti-Semitic?

He probably only had to convince a couple thousand tops. Most people didn't know it was happening until late in the war. Doesn't excuse them, though.

yep. They were foreigners of origin (or less than ´kosher´), so it makes sense.

accounting.

Ummmh, it wasn´t their exclusive dominion, by any means.

There is a really great documentary called blind spot that interviews hitlers secretary.

She explains that yes, hitler had charisma.

But Germans are very, very good at organizing.

So there's that.

There was a man who was a young Nazi youth. After the war, he fled persecution for war crimes. He later wrote a book titled "How Was It Possible?"

I met the man and he autographed a copy for me.

Not true.

shite, this was Saturday matinee fair for Jerries in 1940. The frickers knew damn well. The men in Reserve Police Battalion 101 spent their 8-5 shooting and bayoneting women, kids, the elderly, etc., and then went home and ate supper with their own women and kids, like you'd go home after a shift at the plant.

What's more, a good many of them would still do it if given a chance.

Well, obviously. Hitler's ideology got around though through the SS's far reaching grasp in other countries.

What exactly did he say the Jewish people were responsible for? What were the Germans so afraid of that they'd really believe the Jewish people were the cause for all their problems?

A lot of the German people had to know. Burned people smell nothing like BBQ. That sickly sweet stench gets in your throat and you know what is was. And it ain't good.
