What makes a person evil?
Feeling empathy yet ignoring it.
Okay, so the guards at the death camps may have been evil, but Hitler, sufficiently insulated from the messy reality of the gas chambers, was probably fine?
The SS were weak minds, turned by propaganda to believe that the individuals they were dealing with weren't even human. The first step in the elimination of the Jews was introducing a word to define them in everyday speech: rats. That is how they called them. And if you take humanity away from somebody, killing them is almost a given.
