1) The Jews of Europe were civilians, unarmed and untrained in combat. The Nazis brought a significant amount of military power to bear against the Jews.
2) The Nazis used a tactic of deception, right up to and including the last few minutes in the gas chambers, which were presented as showers. Very few people were aware of what the Nazis were perpetrating. What was happening was unprecedented and inconceivable even as it was going on.


3) The Nazis would punish any resistance with disproportionate retaliation. People hoped that they could avoid this by doing as they were told.
