Think, pair, share

I think they didn't protest because of the consequences and the power the Nazi's had in the time. Even though they didn't have that much power during this time they still had the power to take to to a concentration camp where you would die all alone. If I was in that situation I would either stay and do as they told me based on fear of what might happen if i wouldn't. Obedience was a very important factor because everyone did obey but just for fear not because they wanted to. I don't think they had the need to conform, they had the possibility just like the teacher did, to leave the country or do something to change what was going on.
