From what I gather from reading and talking to older people, anti-Jewish feelings were strong in all of Europe and the US during that time frame and earlier. I heard that in many families that if someone married a Jewish person the rest would not have anything to do with them. Since this is not the case today in my experience, it is hard for todays generation to understand this.
I can understand how many Germans would not know what went on in the camps. Look at the reports of abuse in the camps the Us has in Cuba and other places. No one was aware of this until it leaked out into the media. It would be like saying all Us citizens were responsible for this abuse when it was only done by a limited few in the camps and overlooked by the chain of command. [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]
