Answer 2

1.Many common people saw the world through Nazi eyes and spoke their mind in the Nazi language. They felt hatred and anger inside them when they saw someone who look like a Jew. They marked the houses of the Jews and reported suspicious neighbours. They generally believed Nazism would bring prosperity and improve general well being.
2. But not every German was the Nazi. Many people organised active resistance to Nazism, braving police repression and death. A large majority of Germans however were passive onlookers and apathetic witnesses. They were too scared, to act, to defer, to protest.
3. Charlotte Beradt secretly recorded people's dream in a diary and later published them in a highly disconcerting book called The Third Reich of dreams. She described how Jews themselves began believing in the Nazism.They dreamt of their hooked nose, black hair and Eyes. The stereotypical images published in the Nazi press haunted the Jews. They troubled them even in the dreams. The Jews died many deaths even before they reached the gas chamber.
