So which is it? Everyone knew Jews were being mass-murdered, or no one knew Jews were being mass-murdered?
Talk about revisionist history!
My understanding is that most people after the war claimed they'd never heard of the Holocaust during the war.
Indeed, this is a key element in Holocaust deniers' conspiracy theories -- they claim the Holocaust was invented after the war by those dastardly CommunistJews, and it never really happened.
But these articles in the New York Times prove that at least some Americans were fully aware of the Holocaust during the war.
So the question has long been: why didn't more people know about it?
