Dear Graystone,
Very true there were Eichmans and many that became evil under Hitlers deception and personal pride. Hence this thread. Have we not seen people with good intentions accept the ideas of Hitler still even after the fact? To me it is the condition of the heart of each person, some Germans swallowed the hook and all and some died instead of eating. As with all people there are wheat and tares especially in times of testing like war. Also, there were Jews that helped the Nazi Police in flushing out there own people, would they have done this if it were not for the fear of death from the war? Could that be the same for some of the Germans? For me these are the areas only God can judge correctly. All I do know is we have to speak up and try to reason with prayer for Emiles to save them, ourselves and our children. I like the way you say a simple yard stick for Gods message is very simple only people like to make it complicated and therefore get deceived. May the Lord bless you and keep you and your family in His peace, Nancy

Greystone, the same thing could have happened right here in America. We had plenty of Antisemitism and still do.
Germany was coming out of WW1, the war to end all wars and the people were in the midst of a depression. In comes Hitler with his thugs, the NAZI Stormtroopers and he begins to put unity and food back into the German nation. He builds the Autobann, factories, and people begin to have jobs and pride in their country once again. The German people were proud of themselves and initially, Hitler was a savior to them. Once in power, he began to build tanks, airplanes and bombs. World conquest was definitely on his mind. At that point, it was to late for the German people to resist him. If any one has any shame, it should have been Pope Pious and the Catholic Church for looking the other way.
