Wathch the video Ordinary Men on Netflix. It shows how ordinary working class men executed 2 million Jews by firing squad. They were truck drivers, bakers, butchers and wore belt buckles saying "God With Us". The key to it all was othering or "us vs them". Human DNA is 99.9% identical no matter your race, religion, or country of origin. Learning to live together is the most important next step in human evolution
