The good of the group as a whole is more important than the good of the individuals because the group involves more people, whereas the individual involves only individuals. The rest of the people are left to suffer. During the Holocaust, a group of Jews were selected to work as money forgers for the bankrupt Nazi party. In exchange, not only were their lives spared, but they were allowed luxuries which their brothers in the concentration camps could only dream of. They had to choose between their comfort and their kind’s wellbeing. It was more important to sabotage the Nazis in order to save many Jewish lives, as opposed to giving in to their demands which gave them an easier time.
