No, there was a fairly solid moral tradition which had evolved prior to the Nazis, and it did not simply disappear when the Nazis came to power. Despite anti- semitic undercurrents, that tradition granted Jews full rights of citizenship (under the Kaiser), and embraced assimilationist Jews as part of the Reichstaat. It did not engage in nor encourage atrocities against Jews, of any kind. Indeed, there were Jews in the War Cabinet during World War I. Even if the average German were not philo-semitic, the kind of indignities that were visited upon Jews revolted lots of ordinary Germans, and the Third Reich was sufficiently cautious about backlash to locate extermination camps in out of the way places....Even now, neo- Nazis do not try to defend the Holocaust, they try to make out that it didn't happen, at least in its lurid magnitude.......
