* This is a popular theory about why uninvolved civilians in Germany and Nazi-occupied territory allowed the shoah/holocaust to take place. The theory goes that, given that hordes of people were being murdered, and that death and slave labour camps were all over the place, a lot of civilians must have known.

If this was the case, then the holocaust was everybody's 'open secret". |
