The Nazis were of course, without need to say so, among some of the most evil people to ever live, but I can't help but ask myself, why did they choose the greater of two evils?
Why did they choose to kill? Just so many people? On an industrial scale, I just can't understand it, it's, incalculably unfathomable and shocking how and why a person or group of people could be so evil.
Edit, apologies, my question was based on a faulty premise, the Madagascar plan would have been just as lethal as what the Nazis ended up doing, Reddit mods I shall delete upon request if you deem it necessary.
This [answer] (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/5hkvcr/what_were_the_nazis_planning_to_do_with_the/) by /u/commiespaceinvader details the history of the Madagascar Plan and its lack of viability. It should be noted that, besides the impracticality of the mass exportation and resettlement of millions of people overseas through hostile waters during a World War, the actual outcome of the Madagascar plan was to be little different from the Holocaust, in that it was expected that most of the Jews moved to the island would succumb to illness and the elements. It was not supposed to be a Zionist state in Africa, instead more of an island prison overseen by the Nazis to ensure the extinction of the Jews.
