- I do not believe that this represents the general Jewish viewpoint.
- It certainly doesn't represent mine.
-
- In my opinion, the holocaust could have happened in various other
- European subcultures if a nationalist dictatorship of a certain stripe
- had come to power.
-
- I do not hold today's Germans guilty for what happened.
-
- On the other hand, I'd not be surprised if a portion of today's
- Germans have some of the same cultural attitudes that made the
- holocaust possible, and the activities of the neo-Nazi skinheads are
- symptomatic of this.
