The Holocaust was a natural extension of the divisive policies of the fascist nazis. Whilst it was mainly directed at blaming Jews for all Germany's, and the world's ills, the real thrust was about promoting " them and us". True Germans were the "superior" Aryans whilst all other "races" were inferior. However, as the Nazix conquered other countries they divided races and ethnicities. Croats v Serbs for example. At that time there were many countries where such division was common, the USA being an obvious example. There it was mostly directed at black people, but anti semitism was common, as if was in much of Europe. Before the rise of the Nazis Germany was seen as being one of the safest countries for Jews. In fact the worry for some Jewish people was the assimilation of Jewish people with Germans and the dying out of the Jewish religion in Germany.
Even in the late 1930's Jews were still fleeing the likes of Poland and Russia still believing Germany was a safer country for them. And during the war the Zionist leaders in Palestine were happy to try and make an alliance with the Nazis. All the time of course the Islamic Grand Mufti was also working with the Nazis.
The lesson to be learned is to always be suspicious and avoid anyone who would try and divide people by race, religion, ethnicity, colour, etc., and would try to persuade you that such people are inferior and / or to blame for your problems. People who offer simple solutions to complex problems eg " build a wall" are fascists, anc usually grifters, getting rich from the adoration of the simpletons who follow their bullshit.
