Prior to World War 2 New Orthodox theologians and their philosophical friends in the secular world believed that sin was ignorance and education was the cure.
Please be so kind as to reference these New Orthodox theologians so that I may query this statement.

it is a fact that the intelligence of these men was used to perfect sin via the atrocities committed against the Jewish race.
How is sin perfected?

What it says is that you can know right and wrong/good and evil BUT man will still choose the evil and not the good because he is separated from God.
If God is omnipotent how can one be separated from him? This is a contradiction.

Every American and European university professor who provides the justification and rationale and excuses for the murdercide of defenseless Israeli civilians are adopting the mantle of the Nazi's,
I would go you one futher and state that anyone (regardless of education) who justifys or rationalizes genocide of any group of people for any reason are acting like the Nazi Party did during the holocaust. Why single out just professors in your statement? This is a no brainer. *edit typos.

The Killing fields in Cambodia and the Genocide that has recently occured in Africa where commited by those not immersed in accademia.. So Perfecting sin/murder need not have the educated as leaders to commit these atrocities.
Your point stating that education is not a cure for sin is obvious..I do not see how this is relevant to the Natzi Party of the holocaust. My above statement is an example of the non educated commited genocide as well.
Just because some one is educated does not make them automatically moral. And anyone who thinks so is a fool.
As far as stating that man is separated from God by sin and that man is unable to make the correct choice between good and evil apart from God is dogmatic. Many Atheist make moral and good/just choices without any belief in God. How do you explain this? Furthermore omnipotant also means prevading all existance so I still contend that if something is "separate" from God then there is a contradicton in God's omnipotance.
Lastly as Trixie has hit on in her post Calling Professors Natzi because they are educated like the Natzi's is such a sweeping broad characterization. Justifying the killing of Jews is Antisemitic not Natzism. Education is not a cure for sin..duh. Education is the cure for ignorance not stupidity. Lets keep the dogma out of education shall we. edit typo
