State-sponsored civil society mobilized genocide

The Nazis succeeded in genocide in part through offering bystanders money, property, status confiscated and stolen from the victim for their active or tacit complicity in the crime. This type of mobilization of civil society for genocide was also implemented also by the Ottoman Turks against Greeks, Armenians, Syriacs in 1910s and 1920s, see http://www.greek-genocide.org/index1.html and Hoffman (2012) "The Genocide of the Ottoman Greeks: Studies on the State-Sponsored Campaign of Extermination of the Christians of Asia Minor (1912-1922) and Its Aftermath: History, Law, Memory"

Please read Simpson (1995) "The Splendid Blond Beast" about how various strata of German civil society were mobilized via these incentives to first passively then actively participate in the destruction of European Jewry; also US businesses in the 1930s and 1940s under the auspices of the Dulles brothers.
