Not the same topic but I want to say;
Success in America is not a measure of one’s worth as a human being.
Ironically, it is often a measure of the opposite.
Back to OP’s point:
“If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.” ☝🏼✊🏼 —Thomas Jerfferson¹
This is a minor issue, but was the Holocaust legal in Germany? My understanding was that the concentration camps were legal, but the murders were extrajudicial.
I would appreciate correction and more info.
The definition of legal meant here is likely more akin to de-facto legal. If laws exist but aren’t enforced by executive or judicative branches of a system then the crimes in question are de-facto legal. You’re probably right in the strictest sense of “legality”, but that’s not the point here.
segregation and slavery were explicitly legal, the holocaust is the odd one out
That’s why the us has never done anything wrong and germany is evil /s
