How many were utterly dehumanized and pulled the trigger willingly vs. how many just followed orders lest they themselves end up at the bottom of the trench. How many volunteered for the Einsatzgruppen knowing what they were getting themselves into?

No surprise that many Holocaust survivors concluded that there is no God, or if there is he doesn't give a shit about what's happening to his divine creation down here.
