Thinking about all your learnt and read about the Holocaust...... How does a democratic and just society turn to one of hate and genocide? Write a paragraph or two explaining your thoughts.

I think that Hitler just took advantage of the fact that Germany was in a desperate time and needed change. It is often much easier to blame and do nothing about the current situation. Which is what exactly Hitler did. Taking advantage of the momentuem caused by his coming his power, and the power of peer pressure. Any society would sucumb to genocide if the leader was corrupt and no one stepped up. Though it would never happen again because of the Universal Declartion of Human Rights and its enforcers, which is the whole world. When we will fall to those desperate times again, I wonder? With the global warming and inflation issues.
