I don't want to get too tangential or too heavy, but nothing about unethical environments is location-dependent.

At the Centre d'Histoire de la RÃ©sistance et de la DÃ©portation in Lyon, France, I read this quotation from Primo Levi (my translation):

What we must know, what we must remember, is that when Hitler and Mussolini spoke in public, they were believed, applauded, admired. The ideas they proclaimed were in the main aberrant, stupid, cruel -- yet they were praised and followed right up to their deaths by thousands of followers. These followers were not, with few exceptions, monsters; they were everyday people, ordinary people, ready to believe and to obey without question.

....That which has happened could happen again.
