Initially, Morton Rhue indicates the reader to the policy of social pressure in Nazi Germany. To kick off the novel , Mr Ross exhibits a video of the German Nazi and how they killed millions of thousands of Jews, taking them to concentration camps and killing them with no accurate reason just out of anger and furious. “They could see gas chambers now, and the piles of bodies laid out like stove wood”.
Adolf Hitler did not plan genocide for the Jews but wished instead to move them out of Europe” (Cohen- Almagor, 2008, 216). When Holocaust deniers enter the classroom as educators, students are indoctrinated with false history thus creating a prejudice and bigoted generation who will continue to preach hate. Rather, if students learn about the attempted annihilation of European Jewry, it allows them to appreciate and understand where racism can lead if left unchecked.

Hitler’s power to mobilize the masses and kill innocent people is another example of the power of agency to influence people to commit horrendous acts. We see how racism provided the excuse and rationalization of the genocide. In the movie “The Wave” we observe how students were eager to give up their freedom of will and individual right to feed their thirst for power and strength all this by the suggestion of their teacher. In the end the conflict is resolved when the students realize how they have been brainwashed and that their actions as a result, were determined by a false consciousness which blinded them to the reality of the situation.
