The concept of "full democracy" does not make any sense. Germany is a liberal democracy, which means that there are two opposing forces of law in Germany: (1) the people's votes and (2) countermajoritarian rights. Countermajoritarian rights are specific legal doctrines which the state has exempted from the usual process of popular sovereignty in order to protect minorities from the majority. The banning of the Nazi Party in Germany was an extension of this protection by outlawing political parties that have made discrimination against minorities part of their political platform and, specifically, the Nazis because of Germany's past with the Nazis.

Was the Holocaust caused by democracy in Germany?

No. In Germany, as in many European countries, democracy failed in the interwar period. In Germany (unlike, say, Italy) the dictatorship that came to power was antisemitic, but that doesn't make democracy or failed democracy a cause of the Holocaust.(In the late 1940s the view that 'democracy caused Nazism' was popular among some ultra-conservative hardliners in Germany, who equated democracy with 'mob rule').

How can Germany make Nazism illegal while still maintaining a democracy that puts America's to shame?

Whether or not Germany's democracy "puts the US to shame" is a personal opinion, both countries have effectively implemented democratic norms. Now, one can certainly argue the merits of particular US policies and particular German policies, but the underlying democratic structure is more or less the same.Germany, like the US, is a liberal democracy, which means that there are two opposing forces of law in Germany: (1) the people's votes and (2) countermajoritarian rights. Countermajoritarian rights are specific legal doctrines which the state has exempted from the usual process of popular sovereignty in order to protect minorities from the majority. The banning of the Nazi Party in Germany was an extension of this protection by outlawing political parties that have made discrimination against minorities part of their political platform and, specifically, the Nazis because of Germany's past with the Nazis.
