I have formed an opinion after meticulously researching:


Human beings during that the Holocaust is an example of a mob mentality. Mob mentality according to wise geek.com "is used to refer to unique behavioral characteristics which emerge when people are in large groups". Anyone who studies mob mentality can tell you if a person is powerful and convincing enough, they can get anyone to follow them.

Hitler had incredibly influential resources at hand and had a dominating presence. It's all charisma....and propaganda. People will believe anything if they see enough of it enough times.

    That's a good observation, Chantley. I hope you can incorporate that into your presentation. It could give it a bit of understanding as to why the German people followed Hitler the way they did, why any group of people follow a charismatic leader, even if his intentions are horrible.
