    Americans have this myth in their head that genocides can be a shadowy and secret operation.

    It stems from a myth in the Holocaust Industry, where we pretend that no one knew what was going on in Nazi Germany until the camps were liberated.

      Yeah, stupid WW2 movies always make it seem like a big surprise to everyone instead of a very clear and public decision. The camps weren't hidden away, they were like right outside the city and people could see them and smell them.

      Any sources to read about on this? I've only ever heard that nobody knew about (the extent of) the camps until they were liberated
