There are different views on this. It seems that by 1942-43 most East European Jews knew, but West European Jews did not know. However, see Elie Wiesel's Night. The Jew in Sighet did not want to know.

The governments of the Allied countries (Britain, US, the Soviet Union, Canada, Australia and many others) were quite well informed but initially had great difficulty believing the reports they received from Poland ... - and the Holocaust was reported in the media from from late 1942 on, but not as systematically as battle-front news.

Some countries knew of the persecution of the Jews. Nobody knew the huge scale of it.

Was the Holocaust being kept a very big secret to the world or did other countries know what was going on in Germany and Europe?

The sad thing is other countries did know, the fact is other countries were also facing tough times, as it was going on during the war. many countrues were not in a strong enough state to do anything about the situation in Germany and the other countries involved with the holocaust!


What did the rest of the world do about the genocide in the Holocaust?

They didn't know about the holocaust so they could not do anything about it _______ The Holocaust was well known in Allied countries by late 1942 and was reported in the media and discussed in public. However, in practical terms it is hard to see what could have done.


Did the Canadians know about the Holocaust in 1933?

No. Because the holocaust did not exist in 1933. Germany began imprisoning political prisoners and people they deemed "un-desireables". They didn't begin to exterminate them until after WW2 or after 1941. Even then, Germany tried to keep it a secret from other countries.


Why is the holocaust important for each generation to keep studying these events?

it is not, no generation has learned from the Holocaust, the victims of the Holocaust tried to record what happened so that the world would know and that it would never happen again, but attempted genocides are happening all of the time. Nations who could save people chose not to so as not to jeopardise their own quality of life.


Why should kids learn about the Holocaust?

It is always good for anyone to know about the history of the world, and since it was such a big event in history, the time frame in which the Holocaust occurred cannot be overlooked, lest there be a major gap in history in the minds of today's teenagers.

Why didn't other countries stop the holocaust?

There were many reasons. America was isolationist. Most countries didn't know exactly what was happening, and they certainly weren't aware of the numbers of casualties. A lot of countries didn't want to get involved in what could have been bigger than WWI (and was). The reason wasn't that they did not know, it was hard not to know the obvious, perhaps not to the full details, countries did not attack Germany until they were at risk. Countries also were not ready to be involved, and believe it or not there was a lot of "anti-Semitic" feeling in all the countries. The U.S. did not get involved until they were bombed by the Japanese which at the time was an ally of Germany. Also the people and the government did not want to get involved because they were experiencing Great Depression also known as the dirty thirties.

Are schools refusing to teach about the Holocaust?

There are a very few schools in the Western world that have removed the Holocaust from their curriculum, and there are news reports about individual teachers that won't teach it (especially in the UK), either because they are uncomfortable or because they feel pressured. However, the vast majority of schools in the U.S. and other Western countries have strong Holocaust curriculums. I know that some Southern U.S. communities are being pressured to back away from teaching about racism, slavery and subjects uncomfortable to some Christians like the Crusades, but these developments are being fought by educators. Of course, schools in countries run by Holocaust deniers aren't teaching about the Holocaust, but they are getting a skewed view of most of history, not just the Holocaust.
