  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christianity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Christianity is the name given to that definite system of religious belief and practice which was taught by Jesus Christ in the country of Palestine, during the reign of the Roman Emperor, Tiberius, and was promulgated, after its Founder's death, for the acceptance of the whole world, by certain chosen men among His followers.
It was the transference of Christianity from a Semitic to a Greek soil that explains, according to Dr. Hatch (Hibbert Lectures, 1888), "why an ethical sermon stood in the forefront of the teaching of Jesus, and a metaphysical creed in the forefront of the Christianity of the fourth century".
The Jews rejected Christ in spite of the evidence of prophecy and miracle; the world rejects the Church of Christ, the "city set upon a hill", conspicuous though she be through the notes that proclaim her Divine.

 Why Christians Remember © Reverend Glen Nelson
A second question about Holocaust remembrance in the mind of Christians that is also common and understandable is the almost exclusive focus on the fate of 6,000,000 Jews in that decade of European history from 1933 to 1945.

 Northvegr - A Short History of the Inquisition
When the last avowed Jew of Mahammedan had been eliminated from Spain by the Edict of Expulsion, or had become an avowed Christian through the process of conversion and baptism, it might be supposed that the work of bigotry was finished in that country.
It was found, too, that, as New Christians, the Jews were as thrifty as they had been before the conversion, and got together property in a way that excited the envy and cupidity of born Catholics.
By such imposture as this was a healthy dislike for the Jews created and the way for the Inquisition prepared; for the priest never failed to declare that the New Christians, the Conversos, or converted Jews, were insincere and still practiced in secret their horrid rites.

Furthermore, the fact that Hitler and the Third Reich gave immunity to baptized, to Christianized Jews, should once and for all demolish the vile slander that National Socialism was intrinsically against Christianity.
In a conference with Friedrich Christian Prinz zu Schaumburg-Lippe, Hitler declared that a confrontation between religion and politics is damaging to both, that the State needs "religious citizens as the foundation for a moral and clean society", but that "it is unchristian to abuse religion in the interest of politics or economics." Further:
Jews consider anyone's dislike of them such an insult that for it they were chiefly responsible for plunging the world into WWII, for making the peace the most genocidic and unjust in history, and for keeping up an incessant hate -- and slander campaign against all things German.
