The immediate reaction of German POWs upon being forced by the US Army to watch to the uncensored footage of the concentration camps shot by the US Signal Corps.

People often forget that most of the German troops had no idea about what was going on, they weren’t all fanatic Nazis bent on genocide, they were just regular soldiers who answered the call when their country went to war.

But, many troops and citizens did know. 
They knew and they did absolutely nothing.. 

The world knew. 
The world published the atrocities in the back pages of their newspapers.
Forty to fifty million dead bodies later, they did something. 
It took forty to fifty million dead bodies until someone did a god damned thing.

You’re kidding yourself if you believe that people really had no idea; that they didn’t witness the years of hate leading up to genocide. 

Stop giving humanity to the people who stood back and watched my family die.

Have you ever been to Auschwitz, j-wolf-harding? I have. It is surrounded by the city. It is not somewhere off in the forest where no one can see. People take walks outside its walls like it’s nothing because it’s right there. It was literally impossible not to know. Treblinka, fine, Treblinka was out in the woods, but that was more an exception than the rule. Moreover, Jewish and Rromani neighborhoods were fully within the cities as well. Even if you didn’t know the full extent of the camps, you knew about the round-ups, the apartheid, the killing pits - and most knew about the camps, soldiers and citizens like.

They just didn’t care.

The full brutality of the Holocaust becomes apparent when you realize that it happened with everyone’s knowledge.

Don’t judge me.  There’s no need, I already judge myself.
