Hey! I asked a question very similar to this one in this sub and received some great responses. I hope that it doesn't violate the subs rules for me to point you in that direction. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/4qwxcc/did_the_holocaust_have_an_impact_on_germanys/

Edit: the bot told me to tell you that you should be looking at the response made by a specific user. u/commiespaceinvader was the poster who really answered my question thoroughly.
