Remember that even with he case of Germany none of this happens overnight. It took years for teh Nazi's to get from criticizing any group of persons to a full blown managed genocide of an ethic group. We don't see it that way because it was so long ago and so when we're taught history its a condensed fast forward version. This is important because these horrible acts and violations committed by governments against it's citizens always is done incrementally. Those behind it will make small reasonable sounding incremental steps to move the line of teh social norm until it's where they wanted it to be and they often are will to take the time to do this. They count on humans feeling guilty if they ever refuse toc compromise because the one who isn't willing to compromise is made out to be the villain. Thus they incrementally compromise us from string point to desired end point over time.
