Did people around the death camps know what was going on inside them?

No, the Nazis did a pretty good job of covering up what they did, even to most of the Jews until they were brought to the camps.

The fact that victims, often transported from hundreds of miles away, knew nothing, doesn't answer the question. One hears conflicting reports about what local residents knew.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There was little doubt that the local residents knew about the death camps (as opposed to the concentration camps), for various reasons, including:
- the volume of people going in, as opposed to the volume coming out.
- the smell of the cremations.
- local inhabitants would buy items that workers from the camps had stolen from the dead.
