Dear All,

Thought I would share this with you from a book by Richard Maybury about World War II:

It is also important to note that Germans usually get the blame for all 20.9 million murders, but they had plenty of enthusiastic help. Facism was popular all over Europe, not just in Germany. Fascism is, after all, the original Roman philosophy that still has strong appeal, although it is no longer called facism today.
Of course, Hitler was the chief leader, the Axis honcho, so he should get more blame than anyone else. Surely this makes Hitler the most evil person the world has ever seen, and something had to be done to stop him; 20.9 million murders is a mind-boggling atrocity. It certainly is, and this is what led millions of Americans to support aid to Stalin, who was fighting Hitler. But Stalin was twice the demon that Hitler was, if we are measuring evil by body count. Stalin murdered 42.7 million.

It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million of human beings collected together are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately.
Thomas Jefferson, 1816

An elevated person looks on friends, enemies, relatives, colleagues, strangers, saints, and sinners - all as equals.
from the Bhagavad Gita

Kind Regards,

Chuck
