Catholic Church is the main driver of the Holocaust, in fact, it was just another holocaust for them.
For century after century after century, the Catholic church had designated Jews as the "Christ-killers, "the enemies of God."
All the religious massacres — by Crusaders pursuing infidels, by inquisitors hunting backsliders, by superstitious mobs fearing tales of child-sacrificing, host-nailing, and well-poisoning -- branded Jews as accursed.
Popes ordered Jews to wear badges and live in ghettos.
Passion plays depicted Jews as cruel mockers of Christ.
So no wonder when Adolf Hitler needed a scapegoat group to rally the discontented majority to his cause to power, he chose natural victims clearly marked by the Catholic church. The Christian public, not only in Germany but also throughout Europe, was predisposed to receive the Nazi message of Jew-hatred.
And if we are using quotes, here is some.
This is by historian Dagobert Runes (whose mother was killed by the Nazis):
"Everything Hitler did to the Jews, all the horrible, unspeakable misdeeds, had already been done to the smitten people before by the Christian churches. . . . The isolation of Jews into ghetto camps, the wearing of the yellow spot, the burning of Jewish books, and finally the burning of the people—Hitler learned it all from the church. However, the church burned Jewish women and children alive, while Hitler granted them a quicker death, choking them first with gas."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
