Answer:
Most people didn't want to believe that man was capable of such inhumanity to man.
Explanation:
At the start of the Holocaust, and several years in, the Jews lost possessions and their rights little by little. They were not taken all at once. So it was hard to believe that such inhumane behavior could be done to anyone. Plus, they had no idea was to become of them when they were taken from their homes.
In this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", the sentences that best shows how Ivan Ilyich struggles with his life and his inability to let go of his past are:
"He was hindered from getting into it by his conviction that his life had been a good one. That very justification of his life held him fast and prevented his moving forward, and it caused him most torment of all."
In this two sentences, we can see that Ivan Ilyich cannot comprehend what is happening to him if his life had been so god. His past happiness does not allow him to accept his current situation. Ivan Ilyich is aware of this incapacity of letting go of his past and feels frustrated and depressed because of it.
