The cruel deaths of millions of Jews was so extraordinary and severe that just about everyone [except IHR] can understand why Israel's foreign policy exhibits the classic symptoms of PTSD: impaired self esteem, hyperactivity, poor reality testing, and aggressive behavior.

 

Does the following sound familiar?

 

Who was responsible for the Jewish Genocide?

 

The decision to carry out genocide against the Jewish people was made by the political party in power in the Weimar Republic of Germany. This was the National Socialists Party, popularly known as the Nazis. Three figures from the Nazi party controlled the government in 1933: Adolph Hitler, Chancellor of Germany in 1933, Heinrich Himmler and Rudolf Hess. This Nazi trio relied on other members of the National Socialists Party appointed to high government posts and assigned to military commands to carry out the Jewish Genocide.

 

In addition to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of the Interior, the Nazis also relied on a newly-created secret outfit which they manned with convicts and irregular troops, called The Gestapo (secret state police) under Heinrich Himmler.

 

Its primary function was the carrying out of the mass slaughter of the deported Jews. In charge of the Special Organization was Josef Mengele , a medical doctor.

 

Moreover, ideologists such as Joseph Goebbels propagandized through the media on behalf of the National Socialists Party by promoting a pan-German "New Order" in Europe: the creation of a new empire stretching from Greece into the European subcontinent including Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Finland and Sweden (Greater Germany) whose population would be exclusively Aryan.

 

These concepts justified and popularized the secret Schutzstaffel (SS) plans to liquidate the Jews of the German Empire. The Nazi SS conspirators, other leading figures of the wartime German government, members of the National Socialists and the Gestapo Central Committee, as well as many provincial administrators responsible for atrocities against the Jews were indicted for their crimes at the end of the war. The main culprits evaded justice by fleeing the country. Even so, they were tried in absentia and found guilty of capital crimes.
