Greetings, I wouldn't even begin to imagine what Nazi role play would include, because again, when I learned about some things in History, I tried to remember enough not to let that ever happen again, and no more than I needed to, to remember that. That being said, I remember, when I was a young teenager, there was an afterschool movie on TV entitled "THE WAVE" and it was about how a high school teacher taught his students how easily even they, could assume a Nazi-type mindset, simply by seeking to be included and the feeling of power and self-importance and the importance of being part of a powerful group... how easily they got sucked in, and how easily, other kids were isolated and left out (aka The Jews).... Those left out felt unworthy and lots of other things. At the end of the movie, the kids cried when the teacher revealed to them what he had done and showed them a movie clip of Hitler and the Nazi's soluting Him and cheering for Him... the teacher had even got the kids to do the salute (The Wave).... the kids were shocked, and those of us who watched, were a little shocked at our own reaction, as well. They cried tears of pain for themselves, and so did I. I will never forget the way that movie made me feel, and moreso, the awareness it created for myself, and for everyone else, as well. Sincerely, ~sgs
