People don't become Nazis because they're woobies who need to heal. People become nazis because they find a scapegoat for their frustration and anger and hate. Humans like to find scapegoats. It's much easier for our monkey brains to deal with than real complex societal issues.

The reason it's different and much less forgivable is that we're all exposed to the societal pressures they're responding to. Most of us don't respond by deciding to support genocidal ideology.

Tldr: fuck nazis.

Wow, thank god I had you to 'splain these extremely complex ideas to me!

Also, frankly, anger and hate don't come out of nowhere; they're very much related to psychological and emotional damage. IRL the 'why' doesn't tend to matter all that much--not when someone's actions and beliefs seek to inflict/perpetuate harm on others. But it's incredibly simplistic and narrow-minded to argue that the factors that have shaped hateful people into being the way they are aren't complex, or that hate doesn't usually have roots in areas where an individual has sustained some kind of damage--whether dramatic or mundane. Personal damage doesn't mitigate the harm done by grown adults, but it's still part of the picture. And one of the many benefits of fiction is that it allows us to engage with complex concepts like this and explore them harmlessly, in ways that we can't IRL.
