B. Stempleton refers to the "killing of Jews by Hitler", and 
the "luncay  of one man".  

In fact, Hitler probably killed few Jews himself.  If he was a lunatic
(and undoubtedly he was), it was a lunacy shared by at least several
thousand others who participated directly in the murdering of millions,
and tolerated (to varying degrees, some only mildly, and others 
reluctantly) by hundreds of thousands of others.  During this period, there
was essentially open hunting season on Jews, and a huge number of
personal acts of violance were carried out by people who probably
would have flinched at kicking a dog.

I think this merits some concern, don't you?
