This is typical anti-Christian bigotry.

I don't think Oriana Falachi is trying to be anti-Christian just for the sake of it. She's from a heavily Catholic country, and isn't saying "Christian" to mean "Protestant", but rather anyone believing in Christ, any Christian faith. And, while I heartily agree that Hitler and his henchmen weren't in any sense Christian, they came from a Christian country/background/part of the world.

Do not forget this famous quote:

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
Pastor Martin Niemöller

So I think it is in this sense that Oriana lays some of the blame for the Holocaust on European Christiandom, for not standing up and stopping the monster Hitler and his friends.

Your point concerning Christians doing nothing at the beginning of the Holocaust are well made, but thats no excuse for Oriana to use self-guilt to take "doing nothing" to the exterme lie she made by saying "exterminated in the millions by Christians." There's a big difference in watching a crime and committing it, though both are attrocities in my opinion. And why doesn't she mention that the United States soldiers who rescued many Jews from the camps were Christians? If she had made the point you made so eloquently, I would have no argument. But to accuse the "Christians" of actually doing the killing is a lie.

They did not come for the Jews first. They came for the Christians in the Ukraine and murdered over 7 million of them by 1932. The Jews came second.
