It's not a dictating factor but AFC brings up a great point that maybe if all those beautiful Germans worshipped the flying spaghetti monster and didn't have a creation myth that specifically points to the Jews as jerk faces maybe everyone wouldn't have been AS gung-ho about licking them all up.

Like I said before, it wasn't just Jews who were the victims of the holocaust. Also the main reasons for the Nazis going after Jews was their perceived control of the world and racial inferiority. If you read Nazi literature on Jews it's mainly obsessed with plots to control the world and doesn't really mention the death of Christ.
Nazi philosophy was very much based on separating people based on perceived racial lines. With or without the Christ stuff, they would not have allowed a large Jewish population to live in their reich.
