America was pretty much the first ones to discover them near the end of the war, along with France I believe.

Are the residents near concentration camps to blame for the Holocaust?

No. They did not necessarily know in detail what was going on in the camps and, in any case, what could they have done? They were unarmed civilians. In any case, most of the extermination camps were in remote, rural areas. It has become oh-so-fashioable to blame 'bystanders', without asking whether they were in any position to do anything effective.


What were the chances of people dying in the Holocaust?

To survive in a Camp, you had to forget tomorrow, you had to forget your family, or your past. Think of NOW, nothing else, and unless you were picked for death when on a parade, or died from disease, or lack of food, you might, just might, live until tomorrow. People who thought about tomorrow, or their past, or their families, died...they just died, sometimes for no real reason such as being beaten by the guards. They died because their 'spirit' was broken. They 'thought' too much. You had to keep your spirit, your humanity, you had to accept what was going on around you, and think of NOW.
