***However there was alot more knowledge,maybe not complicity,but knowledge of atrocity.That is a VERY difficult question. I used to believe it was much simpler - either you knew or you didn't - until I started talking to many of those who lived through the communist attrocities in the USSR (as we know they killed many more people than Hitler did).
Then I discovered that the third possibility existed - that of blocking the truth, of simply refusing to see it. As a self-preservation reaction, perhaps. As I kept mentioning the "obvious" things that "everyone should have noticed" I kept drawing blank stares from many people I respect. Decent people by any measure.
I still don't have answer to that. Apparently things that are "obvious" today might not have been all that obvious then.
