408. The Nazis in Power: Hitler's Dream (Part 5)

The Rest Is History

NOTE

**Prejudice Disguised as Science. St. Paul and rejection of compassion **

The use of scientific language by the Nazis serves to cloak deep-seated prejudice against Jews, portraying them as inherently wicked while publicly denying animosity. They frame their views in a way that suggests a scientific understanding of history and biology, creating a façade for their hatred. Hitler's interpretation of historical events, particularly the rise of Christianity, is manipulated to support the notion of Jewish malevolence. Saint Paul is identified as a representative of this perceived Jewish threat, due to his advocacy for compassion and universalism, which starkly contrasts Nazi ideologies. Himmler explicitly criticizes early Christians as embodiments of what he considers repugnant Jewish influence, linking disdain for progressive values to their broader racial agenda.
