.......The numbers astound: 30,000 slave labor camps; 1,150 Jewish ghettos; 980 concentration camps; 1,000 prisoner-of-war camps; 500 brothels filled with sex slaves; and thousands of other camps used for euthanizing the elderly and infirm, performing forced abortions, Germanizing prisoners or transporting victims to killing centers.......
.......The lead editors on the project, Geoffrey Megargee and Martin Dean, estimate that 15 million to 20 million people died or were imprisoned in the sites
It is shocking. As the article says, with the number of camps within Germany, Germans knew enough of what was going on. Claims of ignorance were lies.

Parents saw neighbors rounded up and had a pretty good idea what was happening. When their kids asked what happened the parents told them “nobody lived there, so don’t talk about it.”
I understand that they were silent in order to protect their kids. I don’t agree or approve of it, but I understand why.
