While I would agree some people did not know, but a lot of locals did... Maybe they did not know the SS were murdering them, but they did in fact know it was a Jewish prisoner/labor camp.. As many locals wrote to the camp HQ soliciting for labor.

It has been estimated that during the course of World War II 800,000 Germans were arrested by the Gestapo for resistance activities. It has also been estimated that 15,000 of those Germans were executed by the Nazis, although new evidence suggests the death count may have been up to 77,000.
