the only way to truly relate to the חורבן בית המקדש and surrounding events is to put yourself in the shoes of someone living at the time that is to say to understand the great physical and spirtual prosperity that existed when the בית המקדש was up and running and to then contrast that with what the reality was afterwards.
as for how to do that; i suggest reading the מדרש רבה on מגילת איכה as it writes about what i described above.

that the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is an antisemite organization.
the initial premise of your question is incorrect.
only those who are killed for refusing to sin are considered מת על קידוש השם
being killed for just bieng a jew just reduces the punishments after death because the pain of death and death itself is מכפר on some (but not all) of the עבירות and on this the גמרא says: מת מיתה משונה הוי ליה כפרה
