9 REF: D182472E DA-B A95C855C0 36. ANS: Possible answers: There was a long history of anti-semitism in Europe. The war distracted people from paying attention to the Holocaust. Death and suffering were commonplace during the war. People were terrified of opposing the Nazis. As long as the persecution was happening to someone else, many chose not to react. It was difficult for people to believe that something as horrifying as the Holocaust could actually be happening. Absolute evil is a difficult thing for normal people to imagine. By conquering most of Europe, Nazi Germany was able to do as it liked with the peoples of Europe. The Nazis proceeded in gradual steps, each more devastating than the former. By the time they embarked on their "Final Solution, " it was very difficult to successfully oppose their plans and very easy for them to round up Jews. REF: D442DEFE DA-80C0-000A95C855C0
