can't imagine someone consuming me to where I felt that a whole group of people are subhuman based on anything outside of their actions.
Read ordinary men, reserve police battalion 101.
For some, it is as simple as being told do it or you die.
For others, it’s the thought of if I don’t do it my buddy will have to kill my share.
You would be amazed at just how normal many of those who participated were. We humans are a weird bunch and the morals we hold in theory turn out to not hold water when the time comes to pull the trigger.

There's a great documentary on Netflix that goes into the psyche and minset of the German soldiers who were responsible for actually exterminating the Jews.
ETA: The documentary is called Ordinary Men: The Forgotten Holocaust. So obviously it's based off the book you mentioned.
