Will eating broken glass cause death?
Eating broken glass will not kill u since it is an inert material and will not react with your digestive fluids, neither will it puncture your lungs as some ignorant persons claim. It may cause scarring of tissue within the stomach or digestive tract but this is hardly likely based on the gentle way in which the intestines treat with objects not absorbed or broken down. The scarring is usually healed once the glass is removed or expelled.
Eventually the piece of glass if small enough, will pass through the intestines and out the anus at the next sitting. If the piece is too large it will stay in the stomach and will have to be removed by a minor surgical procedure.

What was the role of the RAF in the Holocaust?
They didn't have one. Their role was in WW2, fighting against the Luftwaffe. They helped to protect Britain, which caused the Luftwaffe to suffer (or so I remember) irreplaceable losses in both aircraft and supplies.
From 1942 on the RAF played the leading role in bombing German cities, such as Cologne, Hamburg, Berlin, Dresden and many others.
(incidentally, I hope the question is not confusing the Holocaust with World War 2. Please see the related question).

When and if you disagree with a Jewish person why does he-she label you as anti-Semitic?
Answer
He shouldn't, unless you disagreed based upon any anti-Semitic views you have. Such labeling is as narrow-minded as being labeled a racist for disagreeing with a black person.
Anti-Semitism is defined as "a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities."
A genuine disagreement between a Jew and a non-Jew would not be considered anti-Semitic unless hatred of Jews was expressed.
Did Christian converts from Judaism count as Jews in the Holocaust?
The Holocaust was about race, not religion. However, religion was used as an indicator of race, so anyone with a Jewish grandparent was regarded as a Jew. The Nazis established three 'degree' of 'Jewishness':
- Three of four Jewish grandparents - 'full Jew'
- Two Jewish grandparents - 'half Jew'
- One Jewish grandparent - 'quarter Jew'
So, regardless of your religion, if you had three or four Jewish grandparents, you were in big trouble in Nazi Germany.
