Yeah, the Holocaust was so legal, they worked very hard to keep all knowledge of it from their people.
Holocaust refers to the overall prosecution, murdering and mistreatment of Jewish people, that culminated in mass murder. It does not specifically only mean the mass murder at the end of the war.
It was not kept a secret from the populace that the Nazi regime was anti-Semitic from the start. There were discrimatory laws enacted openly that obviously people knew about.
What the fuck are you even talking about
I guess they refer to the mass murders in gas chambers and through mass shootings. It was not allowed to print or spread information about the so called "final solution" to the public.
The Nazis suppressed all knowledge of the camps from the German people. As the Russians advanced they discovered the camps with the captives still in them. Until the front lines crossed over then the allies had no idea this was happening.
