Most European countries had (and still have) state churches. Some portion of every taxpayer's taxes go to pay for that church. By the 20th century, countries with sizable religious minorities began to recognize the value of religious diversity, and they offered state support to other churches. Germany, in particular, has large Protestant and Catholic communities, and Poland had large Catholic and Jewish communities. In those countries, the tax records contained, for each taxpayer, which state-funded religion got that taxpayer's church tax. The net result: The Nazis could simply look at the tax records to find the religion of each taxpayer. When the Germans invaded the Netherlands, the Dutch had a squad in charge of destroying those records, but the SS knew the importance of capturing those records and got there first.

How are Nazis and Jews alike?

Nazis and Jews are not alike in any way. Those people who say or believe that Nazis and Jews are alike are not only wrong, they are intolerant and bigoted. Nazis, the followers of Adolph Hitler, discriminated against Jews, and murdered or tortured many Jews in the Holocaust. Ask any Holocaust survivor, and they will tell you how the Nazis harmed the Jews. They will also tell you that Jews are not Nazis, and are not like the Nazis in any way.


Who were some of the key people who dispute what holocaust deniers say?

David Irving. The deniers say that the gas chambers were really just showers, and that the poison used to kill Jews was actually used to kill lice. They also say that deaths were due to disease because of the lack of vaccines and also because of starvation. Holocaust deniers think the the Jews doctored photos from the Holocaust. Look up Lipstadt v. Irving.

Iranians don't say that Holocaust didn't happen, their government says that. What's more even the rulers of Iran aren't consistent in their denial of the Holocaust. In offguard moments some of their rulers say it did in fact happen, but that it is unfair that Muslims have paid the price for the Europeans' (and Americans') bad conscience about the Jews.

What action did American Jews take during the Holocaust?

This is a delicate subject, to say the least. On the whole, American Jews were keen to avoid looking 'unpatriotic' by pressing for specifically Jewish war aims.(See Peter Novick, The Holocaust in American Life). Elie Wiesel has criticized American Jews quite sharply, claiming that they did nothing at the time.
