Well, I think its obvious that it happened, and that they didn't have choice.

I don't think its in any way a justification of the holocaust. Hitler didn't need advaita logic to justify his deeds. I think Ramesh's point was from an absolute perspective. To see in it a judgement on the relative level is to make, as Judy put it, a category mistake. There are enough people, who condemn the Holocaust (rightly of course) but they don't help me on my spiritual path.

It is true, there is absolutely no charge. I was never asked for a donation. I just could freely walk in and out again, without reservation, and he was eager to answer all questions.
