Question

Jews died many deaths even before they reached the gas chambers’. Justify. How did common people react to Nazism?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A bulk of the German common mass had deep faith in Nazi ideology. They showed deep hatred for Jews. Whenever they saw someone who looked like a Jew anger surged inside them. They marked the houses of Jews and reported suspicious neighbours. They genuinely believed that Nasizm would bring prosperity and improve general well-being.

But there were other Germans who were not at all influenced by the Nazis. They organised active resistance to Nazism, braving police repression and death. However, the large majority of Germans were passive onlookers and apathetic witnesses. They were too scared to act, to differ, to protest.
