Dennis Prager thinks that we really only want to die.

"One of the greatest insights of Sigmund Freud, who, his atheism notwithstanding, was perhaps the greatest mind of the 20th century, was that human beings have a Death Instinct, a death wish that is as strong as the Life Instinct. He wrote this decades before Nazism and the Communist genocides of the 20th century proved his point."

Taking a theory of Freud's and using it to validate the extermination of Jews as nothing more than Hitler exercising his death instinct is sick and twisted..
