Reading Time: 4 minutes We've all wondered. History has never quit asking the question. How did the people of Germany stand by and let it happen?  Why didn't the stop the Nazis?   It's not hard for me to imagine that now. It's not hard for me to imagine how uncomfortable it was for them to watch the jews get loaded onto trains and taken away. It probably made them uneasy. So, they turned away and history tells their stories because they sat idly by, feeling uncomfortable, maybe even afraid, and did nothing.
