The Germans were upset with the Treaty of Versailles from the first World War, because most of the blame was put onto them. The Germans were angry, so they decided to put the blame onto the Jewish community because they felt like they needed someone to blame. They boycotted Jewish stores and started to destroy them. Hitler had schools for the "superior Aryans" which taught the kids how to be "good German citizens" and part of that was hating the Jews. Things just got worse and worse for the Jews. Some Germans did realize that it wasn't the Jewish people's fault for their hard times, and tried to help and hide them, but if they were caught hiding the Jews, they were sent to concentration camps or killed.

- The German population was never asked to allow its government to commit genocide. (There seem to be some misunderstandings about this).
- The Germans were not even informed about the Holocaust, but they did know that the German Jews were being 'resettled' in 'Eastern Europe'.
- The actual Holocaust took place during World War 2. Most Germans had other preoccupations by then and many just did not care.
- The Jews had been demonized by Nazi Propaganda as Communists and 'enemies of Germany'.
- Effective resistance to a Dictatorship, especially in time of war, requires a whole resistance movement, and that was lacking in Germany - and would probably have been impossible to organize.

∙ 12y agothe fact that the people were afraid of Hitler was one reason why the Holocaust was allowed to happen. Also due to the fact that not many citizens knew or understood what was going on. It was mostly ignorance.
---
However, the ignorance was wilful - on all sides. Neither the Allies nor ordinary Germans wanted to know ... Bear in mind that stopping the Holocaust would have been almost impossible. Most of the killing took place in eastern Europe, which was remote and, in World War 2, largely inaccessible to Britain and the U.S.
