ANTISEMITISM?NEXT?KEEPING IN MIND HITLER ALSO HATED CHRISTIANS!Dèjá Vu all over again!HITLER eliminated all signs of Christianity from public and private life.Those that don't learn history, are doomed to repeat it.Hitler replaced the cross of Christ with a broken cross or Swastika which adorned the German churches.Christmas was turned into Yuletide festival with carols and Nativity plays being BANNED in 1938.Easter was observed as the celebration of spring instead of the risen Christ.Crosses could not be displayed in schools or on public property.Private schools were abolished and only public schools remained with textbooks promoting Nazi ideology.Teachers were forced to take a loyalty oath to Hitler or be dismissed.(Because Germany had a state church, the pastors were dependent on the good graces of the government for their income.)Hitler ridiculed the Protestant pastors, saying they were cowering dogs who would do his bidding for the sake of "their miserable salaries."Hitler was trying to replaced organized religion with paganism - worship of the earth.The Nazi regime intended eventually to destroy Christianity in Germany, if it could, and substitute the old paganism of the early Germanic gods and the new paganism of the Nazi extremists.
