THE HOLOCAUST MIGHT JUST AS EASILY HAVE BEEN A FRENCH AS A GERMAN AFFAIR GIVEN THE DREYFUS AFFAIR ATMOSPHERE

The French would just as readily have exterminated their Jews, and almost did during the Dreyfus Affair, as the Germans eventually did.

Ditto the Austrians, the Dutch, the Belgians, the British, the Italians, the Spanish, etc.

Maybe that is why the Dutch, especially, have apologized recently. 

Faux bad conscience, not just brute fear of immediate death if they failed to do the Nazis' bidding. You tell me the truth. 

Don't kid yourself.

Maybe that is another reason the Allies waited so long for the Crusade in Europe, let the Germans kill off the Russians, and vice versa, and let the Germans and Russians kill off the Jews, a goal everyone apparently wanted.
