In a recent book, Oscar-winning actress Shirley MacClaine, asked whether victims of the Jewish genocide perpetrated by the Nazis may have been killers in previous lives, according to the Daily Mail.
MacLaine's memoir posited the question: "What if most Holocaust victims were balancing their karma from ages before, when they were Roman soldiers putting Christians to death, the Crusaders who murdered millions in the name of Christianity, soldiers with Hannibal, or those who stormed across the Near East with Alexander?"
