Emerson claimed that “Fear always springs from ignorance,” because of the German followers who went along with what Hitler claimed he was going to do, a plan to eliminate innocent people because of their beliefs and fear of what impact would be realized to the future of society, and the Nazi parties’ choices while the Holocaust was occurring.
