If it was simply Adolf Hitler and his generals, the people of Germany today would not have this corporate guilt that they've struggled with for the last 50 years. They could have said, we were taken over by Adolf Hitler, we were forced to do it, we had nothing to do with it. But they've never been able to give that testimony because by the time you got to 1944, either by their unwillingness to stand against what was going on or by their active participation with identifying that there's Jews living there or over there, they had been drawn into this. But in 1937, seven years before that, if you would expect to suddenly have the German people willing to be rounding up Jews to accomplish the Holocaust, it wouldn't have happened. There was a psychological process that took place in Germany over those years of escalating crisis that brought that group of people corporately to where they were doing things, participating, maybe not fully participating, but by their silence at least being involved with, something that seven years before they would never have done. And you can look at that same silence, that same compromise of silence in the churches of Germany as it began. They began with this church. Well, this church never said nothing because this church over here wasn't being bothered. And then they went to that church and that church. And you can go back into the testimony of the religions of Germany and see the same sequence as it develops. And brothers and sisters, that sequence, psychologists say that in a crisis, human beings can change very rapidly. If you're going the wrong direction and you have peaceful times for 20 years, you may not reach the height of your evil character for 20 years. But if you're going the wrong direction and you're suddenly confronted with crisis after crisis, your wickedness can bloom overnight. That's just a fact of the way human beings work. And what I'm suggesting to you here is if you go back into the history of Nazi Germany, you can find that at the very beginning when this group was being rounded up or that group was being rounded up, that the majority of the Germans saw it, but they kept quiet. .
