Ordinary Men

The "forgotten Holocaust"

Six million Jews were murdered during the Second World War. Three million died in the extermination camps and two million people were killed in systematic mass shootings. A fact that is hardly known today. The perpetrators came face to face with their victims. They shot men, women and children - day after day, obediently and diligently, as if it were normal work.

Tens of thousands of Germans belonged to the mobile commandos of the Einsatzgruppen and police battalions.
Who were these men and how could they commit such crimes?
