National law is not the issue. During the 1930s and into the 1940s in Germany the popularly elected government passed legislation restricting rights and institutionalizing racism and eventually genocide. The Nazis did not act against the law but enacted laws legalizing their activities. Much of the "crimes against humanity" committed by the Nazis was legal including slave labour and medical experiments in concentration camps.
