And as an 8-year-old schoolchild, growing up under a Nazi dictatorship as Geiser did, where would you have obtained your moral frame of reference to decide what was "unquestionably" immoral?How about church? You know, the Ten Commandments thingie?

I suggest you read the Old Testament. That's not so much a morality play against genocide... as a manual for it. The Nazis were well aware of this and played off it when it suited their purposes.

How about church? You know, the Ten Commandments thingie?It may come as a surprise to you, but Hitler not only persecuted Jews, his Nazi regime also actively restricted other organized religions. (Hitler and Christianity). Instead, he sought to subvert and eradicate Judeo-Christian beliefs and morality by substituting a fabricated, paganistic cult based on ancient Teutonic myths.
