Imagine being told you're subhuman monsters who were better off as slaves or that your culture and society was "primitive" and your people deserved to be exterminated in public school this century. Also, imagine if your country's currency primarily had people on it who committed atrocities against your people.
Oh yeah, how on earth did I forget that? I actually attended a Lutheran church service about 8 years ago (my husband and I were visiting his very devout aunt and uncle and I offered to go with them to be polite- my husband did not want to go but I convinced him to honor them and his own long rejected upbringing.) The pastor's sermon was bizarre. All about conspiracy theory and pretty much about how the Jews conspired to kill Jesus- he never came out and said that but the implications were clear. Horrific. Our aunt and uncle did not get it.
Yep. And I loved being told we killed Jesus.

My Southern Baptist fatherтАЩs minister told him his Jewish wife and children were going to hell. That was special.
Ouch. Good thing we don't believe in he'll.
