Yehuda Bauer states the ' because ' very well at the end of documentary, we see too common a 'normal' thread of human nature that will continue to reoccur in society and in each of us until we individually and collectively 'develop' a less selfish, less egocentric perspective and act accordingly to truly see the self benefit in evolving from base animal instincts, and 'develop' the higher action of loving our neighbors as we all most certainly love ourself.
"Humans are animals who kill other animals of the same species.
They also develop the opposite, because we are herd animals.
So we develop sympathy and love and collaboration and so on because a herd cannot exist without that.
And so, there are two conflicting elements in all of human society and all attempts to fight the kind of Hitlerism that we are discussing here are really the attempt to strengthen one human reaction against another human reaction.
The problem that we have is not that the Nazis were inhuman, but that they were human.
That's the basic problem that we have, with ourselves, not with the Nazis.
We also act out our ideas.
Fortunately, they are not Nazi ideas, but the Nazi ideas were acted out by people who were absolutely normal." Yehuda Bauer.
