"THE RELATIVELY FEW INDIVIDUALS WHO SURVIVE...GIVE RISE TO THE NEXT GENERATION":
The War that Never Ends: a review of The Origins of the Final Solution: The Evolution of Nazi Jewish Policy, September 1939-March 1942 by Christopher R. Browning (Benjamin Schwarz, Atlantic Monthly)

But Nazism wasn't Christian, it was Darwinist.
