Kershaw found that the majority of Bavarians disapproved of the violence of the '' Kristallnacht '' pogrom , and that despite the efforts of the Nazis , continued to maintain social relations with members of the Bavarian Jewish community . Kershaw documented numerous campaigns on the part of the Nazi Party to increase antisemitic hatred , and noted that the overwhelming majority of antisemitic activities in Bavaria were the work of a small number of committed Nazi Party members . Overall , Kershaw noted that the popular mood towards Jews was indifference to their fate . Kershaw argued that during World War II , most Bavarians were vaguely aware of the Holocaust , but were vastly more concerned about and interested in the war than about the " Final Solution to the Jewish Question "
