How has studying the Holocaust changed your opinion of Germans?

I hope that studying the Holocaust is not making people anti-German. The majority of Germans were not alive at the time, or were too young to play any part in the Holocaust.

Did Franklin D. Roosevelt have anything to do with the Holocaust?

yeah he did, From the period of 1880 through the 1940's, the whole world started becoming nationalistic. However, during World War I, Germany started becoming too nationalistic; they began killing off anyone who wasn't a German citizen living in Germany. Approximately six million Jews were killed during the holocaust. In order to stop this, FDR entered war with Germany and won against Germany. Thus, FDR was essentially going against a war of too muchnationalism.
