I don’t believe it was possible for the German people not to know about what was going on during the Holocaust. Even if they didn’t know the extent or just heard rumors to which Hitler was persecuting Jews, the Germans had to have thought that something suspicious was occurring. Hitler used propaganda to blind the pubic though and make them feel superior. However, with all the people in hiding and all those who had gone missing you would have noticed. If you lived anywhere near a camp you would have smelt the rotting of flesh and you would notice all the people going in yet none of them ever coming out. If I suspected that the atrocities and genocide that was happening I don’t think I would’ve done anything. By then, I’d probably have been brainwashed by the propaganda into a state of mind that the Jewish people and others were inferior to my race. I would fear the punishments that the Nazis or SS if I knew about it and spoke out. I believe that genocide could defiantly happen again because man has a prejudice nature, if not you then someone else does. Even today there is genocide or there was in Somalia.
