Nazism, or sometimes Naziism, officially called National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus), refers primarily to the ideology of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (National Socialist German Workers Party, or NSDAP) under Adolf Hitler. It is also used to refer to the policies adopted by the government of Germany from 1933 to 1945 (known as Nazi Germany or the "Third Reich"). Nazism consists of a loose collection of ideas and does not have a precise definition, although nationalism, racism, totalitarism, anti-Semitism and anti-communism are strong trends within Nazi thought.
If you believe and practice in the phylociphy or that time...then your a nazi and it makes no differance when and were you was born...if you do not believe and practice the phylociphy of that time...then you are not a nazi and it makes no differance when and were you are born...it's like religion and it is your choice...to be or not to be...that is the question...you allready know the answer...

There are many good answers here so I wont repeat what has already been said. But, here are 2 points:
1. Contrary to the opinion stated above, many Nazi's were Christians. And, as a reflection on Christian morality during WWII I mention that Pope John Paul II apologized for the Catholic Church's silence at the time. Antisemitism was widespread among Christians in the 30's and 40's.
2. There is an interesting irony in the Communist hearings by McCarthy in America in the 1950's. The major opposing party to the Nazi's in Germany were the Communists. So, if a person wanted to make as stand against the Nazi's he may well have joined the Communist Party. Many people who did just that were ostracized by McCarthy.

There is a great book to site called voices from the third Reich.
Unfortunately if you agree with homeland security it is hard to explain why you disagree with the Nazis. Though at first the Nazi did things that were relatively good for their country so it gets more complicated.
At what stage are you being asked to join? How much do you know about their real intentions at this point?
Write down some quick notes without stopping on all the ways you would handle the problems of your own country. Then be fair and see how much matches up.
Good Luck.

those nazis that have been blind to the holocaust - the place have been they? i think i do no longer comprehend the question. If a Nazi is an overseer in Auschwitz, then he's witnessing the homicide of many and specific enticing himself. So what's he blind to? I additionally don't comprehend the thought being born Jewish could by some skill permit him know that killing is incorrect anymore than somebody interior the worldwide is conscious that killing is incorrect. ought to Nazi suggestions be indoctrinated into each individual? of direction they might. So in case you're asking me - are all Nazis as responsible as might nicely be or are some given some compassion via fact they have been raised that way? that selection is as much as God as to despite the fact that He judges that individual is in charge for.

No, there were many people in Germany that was not Nazi. However the Nazi were in power so Germany was considered a Nazi country. Much in the same way that everybody does not agree with the repuglicans, the only way out is to vote and assure fair and honest elections.

Wrong. Many Germans were not Nazis during that time. They were simply afraid to speak out, for fear of suddenly finding themselves in a concentration camp.
I think your best bet would be to watch the movie Judgement at Nuremberg. Everything in it pretty much is true. It was made about 17 years after the war ended, and has an excellent cast. It should give you an idea about how normal citizens felt about the Nazi regime.

jews were not nazis, and i dont think alot of german people were either. they were forced into it. kinda like bush and the republican party. we really dont want to go overseas and kill someone we dont know just to boost the economy and protect someone elses oil futures, but we are doing it. the leaders of a country are to blame for wars, everyone else is just trying to live and survive. there was alot going on back then as far as brain washing, lieing, and bullying the general population. the german people were behind a guy that wanted to develope a superior race that was the total opposite of him and most other germans. how stupid. if you were born in germany during ww2, you would actually be neither. by the time you were old enough to understand what was going on, the war would have been over, i think?

No....
for example, the current Pope, Benedict Ratzinger XVI is from Bavaria, Germany. People think he's a "Nazi" simply because he was part of Hitler's Youth. At the time, it was REQUIRED. Or you'd face death. Being at the wrong place at the wrong time does not make you a Nazi.

That's not a good question. It's like saying everyone born here now is Republican. Many different cultures, ethnic groups lived and died there who were executed for not being Nazi party members. The Nazi's are a political party not a fundamental ethnic designation.

not necessarily, you might just be blissfully unaware
the nazi party was the main party but it controlled the media and the church, indeed almost every aspect of 'life'
so a lot of people would have just been following and existing, the working person on the ground wouldnt really have been knowledgeable enough about things to say he was a nazi??
he would just have been going about his daily business which would have been controlled by the nazi party (in some way), but most would have been happy when they won and many were taken in
