To be honest I'm a bit confused. Pardon the question, but I thought the Nazi regime was more than just Jew- and gypsy- and homosexual-murder.
I know the holocaust is an important part of German history. As our tour guide JB put it, the remember so it never happens again.
At the first holocaust museum, it was about being personal, reading stories, looking at pictures, and reading stories to create the personal attachment. The second was about demonizing the SS and the Gestapo for their crimes against humanity. The final, at the Wansee Conference location, was about understanding the logistics of genocide.
We went to Hitler's bunker, where he killed himself after demanding his army to defend the fatherland. The nonverbal implication seemed to be that he had too much pride to physically watch his empire crumble. He allowed himself the death that some Jews were begging for. A sweet end to watching your persona or culture being destroyed.
But that did not interest me. See, I cannot blindly accept that tbd Nazi party was simply mad or that Adopt Hitler was the Antichrist.
They must have had a reason.
After all, they convinced much of a country to support them.
If I was a bitter German, paying for The Great War, I may look for someone to demonize. The Americans found that people in the Japanese after Pearl Harbor, putting Japanese-Americans in camps, and decimating two cities full of civilians.
Why is the German-Jew issue one of genocide but the U.S.-Japanese issue not one?
Maybe the fact that there was a plan for emmigration? If the Nazi party had successfully emmigrated the Jews to Africa or another region, I doubt that we would be talking about Nazis in terms of murderers, just in terms of successful military strength and organization. After all, the region was home to two great empires in Nazi Germany and the Ottoman kingdom.
Maybe it is just that one people started the war and the other ended it. The people of the world do not put up with provocation. A swift end is necessary?
