Q2 How far would you agree with the view that "guilt for the Holocaust lies with Hitler"?

 * Reich Chancellery meeting of December 1941 where, according to a diary entry by Goebbels, Hitler orders the annihilation of Europe's Jews. ||  || https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reich_Chancellery_meeting_of_12_December_1941 ||
 * extract from www.ushmm.org ||  || It was Himmler whom Hitler entrusted with the planning and implementation of the "Final Solution." In his most quoted speech, that of October 4, 1943, in Poznan to a gathering of SS generals, Himmler explicitly justified the mass murder of the European Jews in the following words: “In front of you here, I want to refer explicitly to a very serious matter….I mean here…the annihilation of the Jewish people…. Most of you will know what it means when 100 corpses lie side by side, or 500 or 1,000…. This page of glory in our history has never been written and will never be written….We had the moral right, we were obligated to our people to kill this people which wanted to kill us.” ||
