Is there anyone out there pointing out the obvious parallels between this kind of rhetoric and that of the Nazis in the early 30's?

Peter Boghossian got a section of Mein Kampf he translated into feminist jargon published in an academic journal, for Christ's sake.

Is there a good place to learn about all this history? I want to learn about the uprising of Hitler and how the SS or brownshirts, not sure which ones, at first could walk away if they felt uncomfortable doing something against a Jew. Then later on through conditioning it came to killing them.

Here's something to at least start with:

I found the third key fact at the top particularly interesting because of "fostered a climate of indifference to [the Jews'] fate."

Edit: I'm a complete noob at this myself, but it's fairly plain to see, in my opinion. There's so much animosity right out in the open already. A great example was that video of the black woman that went viral recently, where at the end she looks into the camera and says [paraphrasing] "You're lucky black people only want equality and not revenge." Uhhh.... well that's pretty disconcerting; clearly the mask has slipped a bit there if revenge is even on your mind. It seems to me she's dispelling notions of her true intentions. It's hardly the kind of benevolent humanism you get from movements like Martin Luther King's.
