Hermann Goering

Without getting into a major argument, I just don't see the morality in killing others to atone for other deaths. Especially when only a century or so earlier America had it's own unofficial holocaust. But regardless, this is history.

The Allies needed a person to pin all the blame on Goering was the highest ranking Nazi official they have caught.

Up until 1945 when the Allies discovered the Holocaust mostly Jews weren't very liked by other people in Europe.

Well, I too don't agree with that concept per sé - but I do, for some reason, agree with emposing the death penalty on Nazi criminals like Goering.

And by the way, I have never heard of the Americans driving people into designated camps built for the sole reason of getting them killed.

Yes Derfasciti what are you talking about? The Indians or Japanese?

I think the Indians, tho that is a complete different story.

And Csar is right. The Jews weren't really liked in Europe. Look at the Catholic Church that didn't do anything about it, ofcourse they couldn't stop it, but they could tell it to the world.

I was speaking of the native americans.

So what if they didn't overtly put them into camps and condemn them to death? They might as well have.

True but that's not quite as bad a massive Death Camps.

May I point out the atrocities of the Boer Wars? Admittedly, it was the British, but a good example nonetheless.

They were called reservations

@Krook
see if you can get the movie Amen to rent it, and go watch it. imo It's one of the best movies ever made. It shows how the church didn't do anything ... and at the end helped the Germans to escape to South America.
