Yes, we should all remember that this occurred in a modern, industrial, Western society, with the support of the population.
There already existed an anti-Jewish feeling, but another significant factor was the acceptance of evolution (Ernst Haeckel was Germany's main promoter of it, and some of his fraudulent ideas persist to this day, such as the idea that babies in the womb develop through evolutionary stages), and that some 'races' are more advanced than others. And of course the Germans considered the so-called Aryan race the most advanced. This also explains why some victims of the holocaust were the disabled.
It also explains why there was a similar (albeit much smaller) earlier slaughter of the Herero people of the German-controlled South West Africa (now Namibia), reducing their population from 80,000 to 15,000. The Herero were often referred to as 'baboons' and were considered an inferior race.
