RE: [asa] MIrroring caused the holocaust, not Darwin

The Armenian Genocide was the first in the 20th century and from all the readings I have done, no one has connected it to Darwinism. Vahakan N. Dadrian has produced two scholarly works, "The History of the Armenian Genocide: Ethnic Conflict from the Balkans to Anatolia to the Caucasus," and "German Responsibility in the Armenian Genocide: A Review of the Historical Evidence of German Complicity."

Dadrian has clearly shown the direct connection of German involvement with the Ottoman Empire in World War I and how that knowledge Germans acquired and the weak reaction of the world to the Armenian plight served the Nazis in World War II to do away with gypsies, Jews and other ethnic groups.

Neither let us nor forget what Adolf Hitler said, "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

Subject: [asa] MIrroring caused the holocaust, not Darwin

I found this on another list and thought of the recent conversation on Darwin and Hitler and my post on Kevin MacDonald and "mirroring."
 
 
 
 
"Dear Friends,
 
Re: The new book by Jeffrey Herf, The Jewish Enemy: Nazi Propaganda During World War II and the Holocaust, Belknap Press, 2006. Reviewed in the Forward, July 21, 2006, p.16
 
The thesis of this book is that: "According to Herf, the Nazis killed the Jews not because they believed they had inferior blood, but because they were considered powerful political foes."
 
This book may offer supporting evidence for Dr. MacDonald's theory of antisemitism as presented in Separation and Its Discontents. I believe he hypothesized that antisemitism is caused when non-Jews perceive the Jews as a threat to their survival and well being. Then, in order to combat the Jews, the non-Jews create altruistic groups that are a mirror image of Judaism."
