It's hard to feel sympathy for the people that lived in towns around concentration camps. Especially when they played ignorant to what the Germans were doing to the Jews in those camps

The extermination camps were in Poland and the entire process was deliberately kept very secretive. So how many German civilians do you think were in the know? How could they be?
The notion that the German people "knew" or "had to know" what was going on does not hold up under scrutiny.

Rick Steeves was posting about Dresden today.
"On this spot 6,865 bodies were cremated 14th of Feburary 1945"
quote:RickSteeves.com link (Dresden-Leipzig Gemany)
Dresden is a city where the heritage of destruction is hard to ignore. I'll never forget standing on the Altmarkt square in the Old Town…it seemed like just another square. Then, looking down at the cobblestones, I saw an inscription that reads, "After the air raids on Dresden on February 13–14 1945, the bodies of 6,865 people were burnt on this spot." Carved on a piece of granite above that was a simple statement: "Thus the horrors of war, unleashed by Germany upon the whole world, came back to be visited upon our city."

quote:The Germans did know the Jews were being removed, and killed. Many german citizens even attacked Jews personally or destroyed Jewish property.
So how many German civilians do you think were in the know? How could they be?
Though the vast majority of the Jewish exterminations came from Czech and Polish jews, and I do think the average German was in the dark about what happened outside of the town there were in at the time.

The German people loved their country, cities, streets, etc. Do you really think most low-life welfare earning recipients of today give a rats arse about anything but their check? Sad..
