The Holocaust effectively destroyed self-love for many Europeans. Turning Jews into Nazis has become the ultimate way to stop feeling like monsters.

Allies once chose not to bomb the railway lines and the camps. They preferred diplomatic caution and military considerations over saving an innocent people. And what is happening now?
