IF you want more of a very unsettling analysis of how the holocaust happened - try Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning.

It sort of goes into how some of these people who weren't diehard Nazi's and - up until they crossed a certain point - were just regular family men, it goes into how most people are susceptible to pressure of a group setting by discussing a specific reserve unit of WW2

Read All the Light We Cannot See. It really hits home even more about those regular people becoming Nazi's. Family's were so excited when their son's were doing well in Hitler's youth organization. Many people just didn't see what was really happening until it was too late.

Another unsettling book is Masters of Death by Richard Rhodes.
