anonymous · Answer

...they had lived their whole lives in Germany. That's the simplest answer. Many couldn't simply leave behind everything -- friends, family, ties to the community, jobs -- to go somewhere else overnight.

They believed that the Nazis would pass and that what was going on was only a phase. In hindsight, we know that isn't what happened, but to many Jews at the time, they didn't believe it would ever lead to something so extreme as the Holocaust.

I do understand that, thanks for elaborating though, it asks for like a phrase answer as in like the neurenburg laws (not it) or the Eonsatzgruppen (not it) like that but I cant figure out what else it could be besides those two. I dont see anything else in the text book besides those two, was just wondering if anyone else had any ideas?
