32. I survived Catholic school
and I don't recall ever hearing that "Christ killer" meme from the nuns. It mostly came from the other ignorant little savages in my classroom. A lot of the church sponsored hate had been suppressed after WWII and the enormity of what had happened to Jews under Hitler shamed them into silence.

Not so the poisonous parents in the flock, I suppose.

I also remember the uptick in swastikas painted on temples during Easter week. It gave me a sick feeling, too. That shit is never far below the surface and Jews aren't the only ones vulnerable to it.
