I saw The Pianist the other day in one of my classes and it made me rethink about The Holocaust. If you think about it the entire thing was like a machine, everyone participated in it one way or another like a cog some more than others. Its one thing for one person to kill another person, but for practically an entire nation to kill is another. Its a wonder if maybe in the back of an SS mans mind that he thought about what he was doing was wrong. While it is known many went along with it for fear of being punished for not obeying with others its a wonder.
