Having been involved in restoration work at the Emanu-El Jewish Cemetery some 30 years ago following what was then considered a minor incident of vandalism, which was never reported in the press, it’s sad to think that the recent lunatic actions of a very, very small number of persons has brought us to the questionable statement in the second paragraph of Len Rudner’s letter to your newspaper! (News Feb. 10).
His suggestion that “Christian teaching” formed any part of the thinking behind Hitler’s Final Solution must be deeply offensive to the better informed and especially to those who actively opposed the Nazi regime.
See New Testament, Matthew 5:44, for for the official “Christian teaching” in this matter.
