If we assume there is no mystic aspect to anti-semetism, then this teaches us a lot about human nature.
It teaches us that humanitarianism is not inherent in humans. It's just cultural. The same Germans can either become the pacifists they are today, or the militant cruel creatures that they were during the late thirties.
Perhaps humanitarianism is not quite the right name for it, eh? It has nothing to do with us being human. It has everything to do with us living in liberal times.
