The Germans and the Holocaust : what did they know?. |
|---|---|
| Host Item |
Yad Vashem Studies 20 (1990) 69-98 |
| Description |
Reports of the security services in Nazi Germany show that the German people knew about the persecution, deportation, and extermination of the Jews. When confronted personally with the Nazi regime's physical expression of its anti-Jewish policies, such as "Kristallnacht" and the yellow badge, many Germans were disturbed and even sympathetic to the Jews' plight. Antisemitic propaganda was well-received as long as the Nazis were winning the war. As knowledge was received about Nazi atrocities and defeat, the average German distanced himself from the Jewish issue, repressing the knowledge due to fears of Jewish or Allied reprisals and feelings of collective guilt. Modern-day expressions of ignorance, shame, and guilt are in fact reflections of this repression of knowledge.
