Holy Hatred:
Robert Michael
Christianity, Antisemitism, and the Holocaust
While the exact extent of Christianity's influence on the Holocaust remains uncertain, it is evident that Christian ideas and biases spanning two millennia, and their impact on the behavior of Christians, played a significant role in the propagation of anti-Semitism and its ultimate manifestation in the Holocaust. The Christian churches themselves did not directly execute the Final Solution, but their historical legacy seems to have been a major underpinning of these tragic events.
