Pope Francis Says Holocaust Could've Been Stopped By 'Great Powers' Of The World; Criticizes Them For Not Doing So

Pope Francis criticized the “great powers” of the world on Sunday for not taking action when they received information regarding Jews, Christians, Homosexuals, and other “minorities” being transported to Concentration Camps in Europe during World War II. He also mentioned the lack of intention of these powers to stop innocent Christians from being murdered during Stalin’s dictatorship after the war.

The Pontiff gave a non-scripted speech on this subject to young people in Turin this past weekend, and he told them that he understands how they struggle to trust the world, “The great powers had photographs of the railway routes that the trains took to the concentration camps, like Auschwitz, to kill the Jews, and also the Christians, and also the Roma, also the homosexuals,” said the Pope.

He followed by questioning why nothing was done to stop these historic genocides, “Tell me, why didn’t they bomb those railroad routes?” Regarding the concentration camps that were built in Russia after the war he deliberated, “How many Christians suffered, were killed there?” He also mentioned the Armenian genocide, forgotten by many, where millions of Armenians died, “Where were the ‘great powers’ then? They were looking the other way.”

Before criticizing those who aim to fight for peace while selling and manufacturing guns, Pope Francis delivered a very important message to the young crowd who attended the sermon in Turin: Everything in today’s world “is done for money.”
