The Germans did a fine job of keeping the extermination process a secret until the end of the of course. While the Germans were retreating back to Berlin, they left the concentration camps as is without destroying them. Thus, the US Military was able to seek medical help for those Jews who needed and exploit the German plot to the rest of the world.

The extermination and concentration camps were discovered and liberated by various of the Allied nations, not just the US. The Red Army (Soviet Russia) found many as they advanced from the East. Many of the German guards fled before they could be caught, especially fearing the Russians bent on revenge for the attempted Nazi invasion with its horrendous Siege of Stalingrad (now St. Petersburg).
