Most people didn't want to believe that man was capable of such inhumanity to man.

Explanation:

At the start of the Holocaust, and several years in, the Jews lost possessions and their rights little by little. They were not taken all at once. So it was hard to believe that such inhumane behavior could be done to anyone. Plus, they had no idea was to become of them when they were taken from their homes.
