A people so full of culture and values. How did they create a Holocaust?

שו”תCategory: philosophyA people so full of culture and values. How did they create a Holocaust?
asked 3 years ago

I have a question that is bothering me.
How did a people full of culture and values ​​reach this low point?
Isn’t it discouraging to even invest in being good and valuable?
Maybe I’ll invest and in a generation or two my heirs will be predators?
This may be a strange question, but it has been bothering me for years…

Indeed, a strange question and not well defined. So I’ll ignore it.

The German people were a people of order with developments with culture with values. With everything we would like to have with us...
Suddenly they rose up and killed like beasts of prey.

I asked: How does this happen?
What should we be careful of?
We want technological, cultural and ethical progress, with the understanding that this is the right and proper thing to do.
Where is their failure that we should know how to be careful of?

This question is the most trite question regarding the Holocaust and all sorts of answers have been given to it. I don't see what I have to add to all this nonsense. The fact that people can commit atrocities is a fact of life that depends on their actions and circumstances, both accidental and not, and there is no algorithm for prevention. You have to be a good person, that's all.

Forgiveness I don't know the answers to the topic
Can the rabbi direct me?
(to something that sounds reasonable)

I have no idea. Search the web. There are millions who have dealt with this. It's a question that is asked in every conversation about the Holocaust.
