The fact that the German people were unwilling to do anything to stop the Nazis really isn't analogous to this situation.

I guess it takes a humanities major to point out that this was wrong. Hitler was elected to power. The Communists and Socialists were armed, and were waiting to oppose a coup, but there was no occasion for them to mobilize. Even years later, the military was ready to stage a coup -- notably, they approached Lord Chamberlain before Munich to tell him to stand firm, and planned a coup to avoid a war with Czechoslovakia, but Chamberlain had other ideas.

The German people were quite an anti-semetic bunch and not only didn't do anything to stop the horrors, quite frankly, they didn't see what was going on as a horror.

Not this crap again. I guess this tripe is what you get when a physics major tries to write history.
If you want to read a more sophisticated account of what some Germans were thinking and doing during the war, read Heisenberg's War, an account of the German atom program. The physics in it might help you get through it.
