actually, nobody knew much about it until after the war, when some people got away from the Auschwitz camp. they even think there might have more camps, but the Germans destroyed a lot of the camps before they were found out.

Good question that will probably never be answered with the truth.Just assumptions and speculations.

Because the death camps were mostly in Poland..

Actually, the existence of concentration camps was internationally known way before the war - nobody made much of a secret about their existence, even if not much was known about what really happened there.
The "Holocaust" did not really start until the war was underway for long; until then it was pretty much "unorganized brutality and law free rooms", which made it easy for the personnell to live out their beliefs as well as their lower instincts... the organized Genocide wasn't started until the Wannsee Conference, which was held in January 1942... and there were early reports about what was happening there in America and England, too, but few, if any, believed them... And actually, I am not sure if things like that could never happen again in conditions like those in Germany in the 1920s, 1930s... unless we work against it continuously... |

The Seeds for Hitler's Deeds were sown way before his time.

The Seeds for Hitler's Deeds were sown way before his time. It started with Darwin's "The Origin of Species" and went into the eugenics with Galton's "Inquiries into Human Faculty and Its Development".. Social Darwinism.. |
