Everyone likes to think they would have stood up for what was right, even at the cost of their life, as well as the lives of their family members.
Alas, very few people actually would.
It's not like every German was a die-hard homicidal anti-Semite before Hitler rose to power.
In reality, people think differently in groups than they do as individuals.
Moreover, when a message is reinforced by everyone around you, as well as everything you hear and read on radio and in newspapers, you'd be surprised by how easily what you believe can be molded to fit someone else's vision.
Hitler was just a man. Alone he could never have made the Holocaust happen.
He was merely a figurehead for a larger movement that was, in and of itself, not very different that other movements that have occurred throughout human history.
So the most dangerous thing to think is "I would NEVER do that" because chances are, if the conditions were right, you would.
As a historian and humanist, I'm proud of you lol
I'm merely a realist.

I agree to this statement.. people cannot be sure whether they'd do or not do sth until they themselves are in that particular situation or events happening to them..
First of all no no no no NO! This should never have been turned to a manga. Also everyone saying the Nazis were just following orders. They still carried them out and killed people. Which means they are just the same as Hitler who told them to do it. They didn't have to carry them out, they could of had an honorable death by not killing all those innocent children, sons, fathers, daughters, and mother's. This manga just by having the swastika went too far. Sorry this is long it's just that I studied thus subject for a long time and have family members that died because of Hitler.
