It is a very interesting post (the previous one as well). <br /><br />I am curious of what you think of the recent developments at Yad-Va-Shem, where the Pope used the word "killed" to describe what happen to "innocent civilians" during the Holocaust. In addition he did not mention a few seemingly important points: The number (6 milion), the group of people who caused the Holocaust (Germans, Nazi), antisemitism or anti-Judaism, or finally the part the church played (or should I say did not play) in the war.<br /><br />EladEladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976248493719011843noreply@blogger.com
