Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm doing a project on the Holocaust, and I can't seem to find any information for after the Holocaust. For instance, people claiming they didn't know what was happening and the world's reaction. Anyone have any websites or information?

    Try under "Nuremberg trials"

    Also go to the library and look at the old newspapers on microfilm, they'll probably have the New York Times

    See if you can get hold of a book from your library called Auschwitz by Laurence Rees. In it there are many examples of what the reaction of the average person was to what was happening.
    But for a first hand, my mum in law was a little German girl in Breslau during the war. She doesn't talk a lot about it, but she remembers seeing the Jewish population being taken away and her mother say,
    "Don't even look at those people, or you could be arrested."
    I think that, although the German population knew all too well what was going on, ,many were in survival mode. That does not excuse them, as many people did buck the system and give aid, and paid for it, but it shows the thoughts, and raises the question: what might we have done in the same situation?

    Try this web site:

    http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/life_after_holocaust/

    It's a site that focuses solely on the lives of people after the Holocaust, instead of just giving facts and numbers.

    Read a book by a court reporter named Joseph Halow, and American WW2 vet who wrote Innocent at Dachau. None of the so called death camps were liberated by Americans. Many innocent German soldiers were killed out of hand.
    http://www.vho.org/GB/Journals/JHR/9/4/Halow453-483.html
    Get the book if you can, It will open your eyes, if you dare examine yourself. No country has a corner on bad deeds.
