What do you think this average citizen thought about what was happening (extermination of Jews)? Do you think they liked/disliked it? Do you think they thought it was made up?

Answer:Ok... Hmmm.. If your talking about WWll and the holocaust then your answer would be....

During the period of World War ll/The Holocaust many people were concerned about what was going on. In Germany the persecution of Jews had become normalized. Many people had ratted out their own neighbors and friends for fear of Adolf Hitler's power. In Nazi Germany fear was used as a means of control. There was minor groups against the power of the Nazis and the persecution of many Jews and other minorities. Some thought that Hitler was right to believe in the "Aryan Race" of blonde hair and blue eyes (even though Hitler himself was brown haired and brown eyed) and others thought that all people deserved to be treated equally and fairly, of what they looked like or what/who they prayed to. Some people simply shut their eyes and plugged their ears, refusing to believe such inhumane and horrible acts were committed.
