What are you talking about, Peter? Are you talking about the attempted
coup by members of the general staff? If so, you're not talking about
Nazis. 

The Nazis kept quite a number of old line German officers to conduct
their military campaigns. These officers were not Nazis.

On the other hand, these officers did _not_ try to stop the
persecution of the Jews. Their attempted coup took place after it was
clear that Germany was losing the war. Presumably, they disagreed with
Hitler's military strategy and thought the most sensible course for
the welfare of their fellow (non-Jewish) Deutchers would be to sue for
peace. 

Indeed, the generals have to share complicity in the Nazi misdeeds.
They played ball with the Nazis despite their knowledge of the
persecutions of the Jews, Gypsies, etc., because they thought we were
expendable when weighed against what they saw as the welfare of their
own people.

Without these generals, the Nazis may well have lost the war early.
They gave their skills to fortify the third Reich and enable Hitler to
conquer more territory and put more Jews in the camps.

Since the general staff were generally aristocrats, they certainly had
the resources to leave Germany and live comfortably in England, the
United States, Switzerland, and any number of other places. They chose
to fight for Nazism.

Michael Feldman (host of the quiz show "Wha'd'ya know" on public radio)
had a piece on this issue.  He said that if you're going to spell it
Chanukkah, you've got the pronounce the ch properly, after which he sent
a fraction of his audience into coughing fits by trying to teach them
to pronounce the glottal ch.  Otherwise, his advice was to spell it with
an H.

H with a dot under it is standard phonetic notation for the glottal Ch
found in both Hebrew and German.  Unfortunately, H-dot is not on my
typewriter nor is it in ASCII 7, so I can't use it here.  The advantage
of using this standard notation in English is that people who don't know
what the dot means will just pronounce it as H instead of making the
English style Ch sound which is completely wrong.

That's easy.  They didn't "discard plain evidence."  They simply didn't

It does not take to be a messenger of God to see that 
there was not a single genocide in the Eastern Turkey in 
1915 but a series of massacres and counter-massacres. 

If the Bosnians had risen up and did the same evil that 
Serbians did to them and poured enough blood in their 
revenge of their lost men, women and children, then one could
draw a parallel between the Serb-Muslim and Armenian-Turk/Kurd
tragedies. To draw a parallel with the Holocoust, one
has to insist that Jews killed 6 million Germans in 1942. 

Forget Jesus's [who was an ordinary man for you, a prophet for me
and God for the Christian] judgement and consider God's judgement. 
My book says that the divine judgement is  for each of the 
individuals involved in the 1915 tragedies, and not for the 
entire nations. It says that compared with their suffering after
death, their experience on earth is nothing but a set of 
examination questions. 

What does the Torah say for Revenge ? Do the Jews, according 
to Torah and the Talmudic law,  retain the right to 
incinerate 6 million Europeans, and had they had the power in 1942
[nuclear, etc.] would they do it ? 

I am asking these questions because the Jews and the Turks suffered
the same massacres during the Russian invasion of Khazaria, the Greek
revolt in 1820s, many Balkan incidents, or in Eastern Anatolia,
and recently in Stalinist Russia.  Any answers ?

I'm not sure of this one, I had also heard something about
Camille Saint-Sains, but he was baptized at birth.
Both were banned by the Nazis in "aryan" concerts, but
allowed in Concentration Camp and ghetto orchestras.  Jacques
Offenbach was Jewish, and so was Giacomo Meyerbeer.
Solomon Rossi was significant in the development of music.
I thought I read somewhere that Johann Strauss' grandparents
were converts to Christianity, can anyone confirm or deny this?
Gustave Mahler was born Jewish and became a Christian.
Shoenberg and Hindemith were both Jews.

I believe his descendants are still nominally Jewish, Pissaro's
wife was a Jewish woman whose maiden name was Petit.
Another fine Sephardic artist was Lucille Corocos, born in Morocco,
and her father was once rabbi of the Portuguese Shul in N.Y.
Another important French Jewish intellectual tied up with the
impressionist painters was the writer Henri Astruc.
I forget if Modigliani or Mondrian was Jewish ( I think the former).
Other lesser  known composers who are/were Jewish
include Victor Castelnuovo-Tedesco.  Louis Moureau Gottschalk
was part-Jewish.  Someone once told me that Jean Lafitte the
bucaneer was Jewish.  Can anyone confirm?
