Worth quoting:

"...Despite these falsehoods, by far the film's most outlandish
misrepresentation is its linkage of Darwin with the Holocaust. A
concentration
camp tour guide tells Stein that the Nazis were practicing "Darwinism,"
and
that's that. Never mind those belt buckles proclaiming Gott mit uns (God
is with
us), the toxic anti-Semitism of Martin Luther, the ghettoes and murderous
pogroms in Christian Europe centuries before Darwin's birth. No matter.
It's all
the fault of evolution...."
