Suppose a man/woman from World War II is on trial. She/He is german and she/he claims he was 'brainwashed' by Hilter. Say, if she/he didn't kill, torture, or use violence on Jewish women, children, men, the German soldiers would kill his relatives. She/He tortured many Jews, even killed some of them, and use violence on Jewish children and women as well as men. That person claims that they were brainwashed and afraid. But they still did what they did, it was their actions not anybody else's. And what about the people who didn't raise up to do that to Jews but they still did it to Jews. They did the horrible crime and they should be punished. Do you agree?
