Creationists should be careful when citing a link between Darwin and the Holocaust.

Here is Darwin’s connection to the Holocaust:

1: Darwin Introduced the theory of evolution by means of natural selection in 1859.

2: Herbert Spencer coined the idea of "survival of the fittest," 5 years later and tried to do exactly what Darwin wrote AGAINST, applied Natural Selection to his preexisting beliefs on sociology.
3: In 1883, a year after Darwin's death, Francis Galton (Darwin’s cousin) introduced the idea of Eugenics as a scientific analysis of selective breeding in humans, as opposed to Darwin’s focus on animals/plants.

4: Victorian Era upper class bigots combined and perverted Eugenics and Spencer’s theory to create the concept of Social Darwinism, which survived long after the scientific basis for Eugenics (eliminating disease) was dis-proven. Social Darwinism by this time had become more remnant of ARTIFICIAL selection, which had been around long before Darwin’s time.

5: This perversion known as “Social Darwinism” became a mechanism Hitler used to justify his preconceived notions about a “superior race.” Hitler never directly sources Darwin for any idea and actually condemns Darwin’s books to be burned.

Here is the [historical figure called] “Jesus’” link to the Holocaust:

1: Various Ancient Roman age writers wrote books about a figure known as Jesus, who may or may not have existed (whether or not he existed is not relevant as this is based on the historical figure). We call these books the New Testament.

2. Hitler claimed to be directly “influenced” by the bigotry against Jews in the New Testament and claimed his hatred of Jews was justified by the stories of the New Testament. However, just as with Social Darwinism, this influence was likely a way to justify his preexisting beliefs about a “superior race.” Although this is almost certainly a perversion of New Testament themes (arguable), it is a common theme throughout his personal writings and speeches.

So which link is stronger? A perversion of a perversion of a perversion of Darwin’s SCIENTIFIC (not normative) theories, or a perversion (maybe of a perversion) of the teachings of the figure “Jesus?”

So to creationists: “People who live in glass houses should not throw stones”
