I believe that there was bystanders because there was an outcome they were afraid of like, dying. Many probably stood there because they didn't have much of a broad knowledge of what was going on then and or were afraid of something happening to their families or also be marked as the enemy. What inspired others to become an upstander was that they put themselves in the Jewish people's shoes and thought that if that were them they would want someone speaking up for them, fighting for there rights. I learned so much of the cruelty they went through and how almost no one stood up for these Jews and the others that were being tortured.
