You might well be right but I find it troublesome at best.

I mean, the gestapo simply couldn't have rounded up that many Jewish people without huge help from the local population, as the area they had to cover with such small numbers made that impossible.

People knew that no one came back from the camps people were sent to or were even heard of again.

People did put up real fights where they could. The problem was the collective punishment the nazis used really curtailed much of this. Also, people don't ever think they're going to die. We understand it in an abstract way but, in turn, the concept is too abstract for us to fully realise.

Personally, I lean towards it being a far more uncomfortable truth. Although, i understand why others might not.
