Everyone hates Nazis due to their orchestration of the Holocaust—systematic genocide murdering 6 million Jews plus millions of Roma, disabled people, LGBTQ+ individuals, and political dissidents in death camps like Auschwitz—and starting World War II, which killed 70-85 million worldwide.[wikipedia +1]
Core Atrocities
Nazi forces committed mass rapes, starved 3.3 million Soviet POWs, razed villages (e.g., Lidice, Oradour-sur-Glane), and enforced eugenics like Aktion T4 euthanizing 200,000+ “unfit” Germans. Their ideology of racial supremacy justified industrial-scale evil, from gas chambers to human experiments.[wikipedia +1]
Lasting Legacy
Post-war Nuremberg Trials convicted leaders for crimes against humanity, cementing universal revulsion—today’s neo-Nazis face global condemnation as symbols of ultimate inhumanity.[nationalww2museum]
