I think that is the reason why the shock of the Third Reich sits so deep in the consciousness of the world Amos. Germany was one of the leading industrial nations. It was a beacon of science, art, engineering, and modern social institutions (for its time). However, during an economic dip, it quickly subsided into a level of industrialised barbarity which has never been approached anywhere else. It seems that when the veneer of civilisation is peeled away, we very quickly descend to a level in which we only choose to become either victims or perpetrators. I have never lived through a Ruanda type crisis, so I would hesitate to say what I would become.
