Reply #23: Even without the Holocaust [View All]

[mobuto]

Hitler was evil.

Literaly enslaving tens of millions of people, destroying thousands of years of culture, replacing thriving democracies with ruthless totalitarianism, murdering his political opponents, using race as a motivating force, even if the Germans had not practiced genocide, theirs would still have been the most evil regime in the history of Europe.

The Holocaust did not begin until 1942. It was over effectively by the end of 1944. The Nazis were in power from 1933 to 1945 - and their evil was manifest throughout.
