In all the current talk of the holocaust, I need to get off my chest that there is one thing that still puzzles me. If the nazis believed that what they were doing was right, why did they go to so much effort to hide it. I am not trying to deny that they are guilty of the crimes they are accused of – only a complete fool would attempt to do so – but it strikes me as odd that they would try to hide their crimes. To them, they were acting justly; they believed they were a master race trying to purify humanity. Why would they care what others thought? To A Nazi, only nazi opinions matter. Yet hiding their actions, not recording their murderous actions, implies they knew others would think what they were doing was wrong, and cared about what they thought. Why would a master race, arrogantly considering itself above all others, feel the need to hide its actions from those it considered inferior? Surely it would want to record what it saw as its glorious actions for posterity.
