There were too many factors contributing to the Nazi events. You cant simply point at it and make definitive conclusion over some bare-bone simple events.

You also cant assume that 1933 Germans would react the same way to the authority then 2018 Dutch.

Not to mention, the world is much more connected now. Most German citizens were unaware of the death camps until the end of the war.
They knew full well about other abuse that was done to Jews, opposition and others too. Nazi were pretty bad openly, beating Jews in streets, beating people who shopped in Jewish stores, taking away their possessions, restricting their rights. All that long before they invented death camps.
