Actually, some things were and were not known about the Holocaust. The basic thing known was all Jews, some European P.O.W.s, and anyone that defies the Gestapo that they catch, the Nazi government first sends to ghettos. Ghettos were overcrowded, slums, very few business if any and a place no one wants to live in! They were then commonly sent by train to a bit more secret of a camp, the concentration camp. But the true horrors of starvation, disease, and the treatment of prisoners was far unknown until the lucky few escape or were let go...if you watch the movie "Schindler's List", you will get a good idea of the Holocaust and how well it was known. ___ The official line at the time was that the German Jews were being "resettled in Eastern Europe". Many ordinary Germans had some vague idea of what was going on and didn't want to know more. They were in good company: the Allies didn't really want to know, either.
