The Wave

The Wave1981



Amy:
Were all Germans Nazis?

Ben Ross:
No, as a matter of fact less than 10% of the German population belonged to the Nazi party.

Amy:
Then how come nobody tried to stop them?

Ben Ross:
They said they didn't know it was happening. Eric.

Eric:
How could you kill 10 million people without *somebody* noticing?

Peter:
Yeah, that can't be true.

Ben Ross:
Well after the war the Germans claimed they knew nothing of the concentration camps or the killings. Laurie.

Laurie:
Eric's right, how could the Germans sit back while the Nazis slaughtered people all around them and say they didn't know anything about it? How could they do that? How could they say that?

Ben Ross:
That was a very good question, Laurie.
