I know a lot of people used to ask the question, "If I was alive during the Holocaust how would I have responded?"

Well... now we know.

It's not hard - they're hateful, selfish assholes who should be the ones being deported. But only hateful assholes would do such a thing. Decent, empathetic people try to understand and help even those assholes, but they never truly appreciate it - even if they act like they do because they know it gets them what they want.
