CATHOLICS AND THE HOLOCAUST
(People have asked about the number of Catholics who died because of the
Nazis.  The site on the Nuremberg Trials came up with the number of 42,000,000
for Christian victims of the Nazis.  Since most of those were Roman Catholics,
one can gather that the number was at least quite overwhelming.)
