I read a book (I can’t recall the name) that pointed out a number of times when, in a concentration camp, the prisoners could have easily overtaken the guards, and didn’t. In some cases, the prisoners were even armed and acting as guards, and out-numbered the actual guards. I have to think there is a psychological component to it all that we can’t imagine. Still, I like to believe I wouldn’t just give in without a fight.
The Stockholm Syndrome would explain it for imprisoned folks.

But for those rounded up, trucked to a mass murder site, beaten (as many were), hurried to the murder site where there were other corpses, then just stand there waiting to be shot?
Many of the victims knew this would be the possible end for them long before they were captured, as it had happened to fellow family members & other countryman.
History has repeatedly told us socialism eventually turns violent against it’s own citizens. Our left is socialist. Look to what they are doing with regards to the election. Given enough money & armed by the Clinton/Soros bunch, they may go full violent with intent to kill.
This is why we can never, ever, allow ourselves to be disarmed.
