I feel compelled to add one thing here, surely obvious to many who are reading this thread.
At practically any Orthodox Christian service (including many served in private homes), you will see the bishop, priest, deacon, or whoever is serving as senior reader cense icons with a censer or hand censer. The people present are censed as well. If you have a Jewish, Roman Catholic or atheist friend or visitor in your home who is standing there respectfully while you pray, they are censed. The person doing the censing in a church does not stop to ask whether anyone is Orthodox. This is because everyone is made in the image of God and the image of God (even if severely distorted by sin) is worthy of respect.
The Nazi government of Germany carried out an aggressive invasion of many other countries and performed countless crimes there that had exactly nothing to do with shutting down bars where someone was behaving in a sinful manner, and everything to do with systematically murdering helpless, weaponless people, including the elderly, women, pregnant women, nursing women, and children. I have read an account of a crying child bayoneted in its mother's arms and hurled into the pit simply to shut it up (just before nearly everyone there was murdered anyway). These are not mistaken or random acts of "lone wolves" during wartime. They represent a consciously chosen and directed program of destruction. Everyone undesirable was to be exterminated like vermin or enslaved and worked to death in service of the regime.
This is not even the tip of the iceberg. Anyone with a library card or an internet connection can easily find reams of information about the Nazis.
But just what I have typed above is sufficient to show that the Nazi program was
antithetical to one of the basic truths of the Orthodox faith that we see visually / physically expressed at literally every censing all over the world, without which truth we would have no Orthodox worship and no Orthodox faith: that man is made in the image of God.
St. Alexander of Munich risked death and was killed for stating this basic and obvious truth that the Nazi regime was evil.
From
OrthodoxWiki:
Alexander Schmorell was buried behind Stadelheim Prison, in the cemetery at Perlacher Forst. In his last letter to his family, he writes the following:
"Now it shall be none other than this, and by the will of God, today I shall have my earthly life come to a close in order to go into another, which will never end and in which all of us will again meet. Let this future meeting be your comfort and your hope. Unfortunately, this blow will be harder for you than for me, because I go in the certainty, that in my deep conviction, I have served the truth..."
St. Alexander, pray to God for us!
