    I mean e.g. anti-Semitic ideas where super common in christian circles at the time. Martin Luther was a anti-Semitic piece of shit and he is the founder of a Christian movement. Yes, Hilter and the Germans did something completely unhinged but I really don’t think what happened to the Jews was the issue that caused people to fight Hilter and the Germans. A probably shocking amount of people outside of Hilter’s propaganda would have been in favor of the Holocaust.

    Also war weren’t new in Europe nor was the desire to create a great nation that control a huge region.

    Just like only blaming Hilter is a bit short sighted, only blaming the Germans is the same. Hatred is cancerous. Blame decades and centuries of anti-Semitic hatred and you blame the cause of e.g. the Holocaust. Stop the hate before it grows. Fight the hatred. Transphobia, racism, sexism,… Whatever form the hatred takes, fight it. Fascism follows. Death follows.
