It’s basically a story of a global holocaust of non-Christians. Good times!

Catholic Christians do not believe this. I don't know what Protestant Christians and Mormons believe, but assume they are aligned with what is posted above.

I went to Catholic school all my life, and this issue was specifically addressed in our religion class while we were doing a unit on the Holocaust in another class. According to the priest teaching the religion class, it was made clear in Vatican II that Jews can achieve salvation WITHOUT converting to Christianity. In the book of Romans in the bible, Paul talks about God's covenant with the Jewish people, which is unchanged and ongoing. Also, the way/why the Jews are promised and will achieve salvation is considered a "mystery" in the Catholic church, but it is real. I remember the priest telling us that "the Jews are God's special people." He was pretty clear about that. And God promised the land of Israel to the Jews in a bunch of places in the Old Testament; I remember this happened in Genesis (but there's other places too). The holy land was promised by God to the Jews as their home.

It's not a coincidence that JD Vance is adamantly Catholic. Megyn Kelly is vocal about her Catholic faith and so are other MAGAs. Here's a New York Post article about MAGA Catholics: https://nypost.com/2025/04/20/us-news/meet-americas-new-maga-catholics/

So, I don't know what Protestant Christians believe, but that's the Catholic perspective.

Can anyone sign up to be a Jewish chosen person? Or do Jews have DNA tests as actual evidence of their chosen status?

You can convert to Judaism and rule the world. Join our space laser club. Oh and the horns will be complimentary.

Unlike, Christians, Jews don't seek converts, but they do accept them. During the Holocaust, it didn't matter to the Germans if you practiced Judaism or not, just having jewish blood in your veins condemned you.

News Flash - German NAZIS also slaughtered millions of people who had no Jewish blood in their veins. Please acknowledge that fact.

For example, Catholic priests and nuns got put to death first, before Jewish people. NAZIS knew Catholics would take Jews in, thus risking their own lives.

There's no question that the Nazi's sent a lot of people besides Jews to the concentration camps, i.e., physically and mentally handicapped people, and anyone considered undesirable by the nazis. Some catholics turned in Jews, while other Catholics protected them. Also, people of other religions and no religion did that too.

That's a heavily skewed way to describe the events and motivations.

NP. No one is disputing that, in addition to the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust, there were other groups killed, including (but not limited to) nearly 300,000 people with disabilities, up to 500,000 Romani, and homosexual men. There was the mass murder of civilians, including nearly two million Poles, most of whom were Catholic, among many other Slavs. Clergy who resisted the Nazis were imprisoned and/or killed, many of whom were Polish Catholic.

So the Jews were the Nazi's primary target based on ideology, but others deemed racially "inferior" or resistors (to include intellectuals as well as clergy) were murdered. This is an emphasized part of Holocaust education, at least in the Holocaust museums and among Jews. Yad Vashem has also recognized about 29,000 Righteous Among Nations (non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews out of altruism), who should serve as an inspiration for us all.

News Flash -- hope you read the subsequent posts since your "News Flash." Frankly, it sounded to me like you were trying to make sure that Catholics slaughtered by the Nazis got equal time with the Jews. News flash: I find that disgusting.

Thank you. My family is one of those 29,000 Righteous Among Nations honored as non-Jews for saving Jews.
It’s unfortunate how rarely one hears a Jew expressing any gratitude to all the countless Catholics (and others) who paid with their own lives just to save Jewish lives.

It’s not rare at all, actually — my synagogue has a garden dedicated to the Righteous Among Nations in front of the main door, and this concept is frequently referred to in conversations where the Holocaust comes up.

Personally, most of my relatives moved to the U.S. a generation or two before the Holocaust (and the ones who didn’t, died), so while I appreciate the assistance families like yours gave, I don’t feel as though I’m in a position to thank you on behalf of others.

I don’t know how Christian teachings handle the idea of being God’s chosen people, but in Judaism, it’s more about obligation — we have been chosen to have to follow 613 commandments — than about any special status.
