CJ, > No they didn't. Their leadership did. And it wasn't done spur of the moment, they drifted into it. So your statement "German society obviously determined that exterminating Jews is the "moral" thing to do." isn't even close to being true. The leadership was elected by the people, weren't they? Anti-semitism has been around in Europe for centuries, but it came to a critical point around the time of the Nazis. Bottom line is that society allowed this to happen. "Go home Jew!" was a prevailing chant among the people. Lots of dissent, to be sure, but society wasn't exactly friendly to dissent, either. Tenchusatsu
