Why would a Jew blame Christianity for the Holocaust?
Anyone who has studied this aspect of history will know that Adolf Hitler was not a Christian and that even if he was a Christian, the systematic extermination of six million Jews was not committed in the name of Christianity but Aryanism.

Who exactly do you have in mind when you say "Why would a Jew blame Christianity for the Holocaust? "

The Germans who carried out the "Final Solution" were sure as heck Christians, little child, and their behavior fits a long, long pattern of Christians murdering and stealing and raping and abusing Jews in Europe for centuries.
Hitler might or might not have been a Christian, but the vast, vast majority of the Germans who ran the death camps and who took part in the murder, rape and torture of Jews were devout German Christians.

Jesus exists and is God. God is perfect and omnibenevolent. A person can know these things with certainty by reciting the rosary every day with care.

Many believe that the pagan Roman Catholic cult is Christian and the Vatican was very involved in the persecution of the Jews in Europe before, during, and after WW II. Therefore it is common for Christians to be blamed even though they had nothing to do with it.

Apathy. Too many German citizens did not speak out when they witnessed the persecution of individuals targeted simply because they were Jewish, or during the phase of mass murder, did not offer shelter to Jews seeking hiding places.

Hitler was not a Christian, that's true. He wasn't really religious at all, but he did use religion to his advantage when it suited him. He was a fan of Martin Luther for his hatred of Jews, and quoted from his writings on occasion.
But the Jews disliking Christians predates all of that by nearly 2,000 years. "Christians" have been persecuting Jews since the first century, and it may just be convenient for them to lay the blame there for those reasons.
I'm just saying that they don't have to use Hitler's actions to have a legitimate beef with Christians.

I suppose all the times he gave thanks to Christ, he was fibbing?

Maybe they forgot Christianity is a Jewish invention. Jews aren't exactly the sharpest tools in the shed.

Hitler singled out the Jews over Jesus' sacrifice.
It's the ONLY reason anyone attacks the Jews. Biblical reference. And since only Christians use the bible as a guide? There you go.
