People want to fit in, this is a fact of human nature. If everyone in your culture/country is doing something, no matter how horrible it is, most people will go along with it, especially if the government sanctions it. That being said most Germans didn't know that it was happening (or convinced themselves they didn't), and a lot of the ones that did had been brainwashed into thinking that the Jews were a secret, evil and organized group bent on control of the world and destruction of the German people. That is, of course, absurd but as I stated most people believe what they are told to believe. If you are saying to yourself, "no one is that stupid" you should realize that RIGHT NOW many powerful governments (YOUR government, if you live in an industrialized country) mandate the wholesale killings of any group of people that gets in their way... as you, with the rest of the citizenry, looks on with only mild interest. It seems normal to you because no one around you acts like its strange. However, in 50 years, people will wonder how YOU allowed these things to happen.
