When studying the Holocaust. one has to be disturbed by how unevenly the numbers stack up. The ratio of Jewish victims to German organizers was about 100 to 1. The Germans obviously were not acting alone. "How else could some 6 million people. who knew or suspected what fate awaited them. and who therefore sought in every possible way to avoid capture. be rounded up. confined. deported. and killed?" The evidence of assistance becomes clear when. in 1944. 150 to 200 SS men evacuated 400.000 Hungarian Jews to death camps. Assistance was given to the Germans mainly by local authorities and private individuals. Many of the Jews in Europe could possibly have survived if only their nonJewish countrymen would have remained inactive.
