MASS KILLINGS

  • Deep hatred led to ignorance
  • Germans were unable to see that Jews were human beings
  • One can't feel guilt for killing someone...
  • Because you really know the other person so it's easier to kill
  • Dehumanization enabled Germans to murder millions of Jews because they could not feel guilt

CONCLUSION

  • Without dehumanizing the Jews the horrific deaths would not have been possible
