Chris Tarrant Quotes

The Nazi gas chambers are but a detail of history

Most readers will be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews.

The Nazi’s radical anti-Semitism was an attempt to guarantee the complicity of the broadest possible swath of the populace in Nazi crimes. With their hands dripping with blood, most Germans would likely see no real choice but to fight to the death against the allies.

In Germany, of course, the Holocaust will always be in our history and a big stain on our lives.

Even Eichmann was sickened when he toured the concentration camps.
