The German people didn’t allow the holocaust because they felt their whiteness made them superior we are often told, they went along with it because they were convinced by the Nazis to fear the Jews.

Its an important distinction and one we’d best consider when looking at whats happening today.

Fear the Jews? You spelled hate wrong. No one fears Jews.

It wasn't difficult. Jews were prominent in socialist/communist activities. Everyday Germans were hearing about the Holodomar in Ukraine. Hungary in 1919 experienced a brief Communist dictatorship under Bela Kun (ethnically Jewish, but non-practicing). The German communist Spartacist revolution narrowly missed seizing power. They had communist Antifa groups rioting in the streets.

It wasn't hard to scare the German middle class into thinking they were under mortal threat, and that the communists were disproportionately Jewish.

Yes. The Nazis gained absolute power by using mass media to create mass hysteria in the German populace. But mass hysteria is a dangerous animal that can turn on anyone, even those who created it. The only way to control it is to direct it to devour someone else: the scapegoat.
