The Nazi persecution of the Jews, 'gypsies', Communists, Social Democrats and other opponents of the regime was never a secret. The concentration camps were not a secret, either. After all, the Nazi media boasted that there taking a tough line against these groups ... People knew - though usually they did not know all the details of what happened in camps.
The yellow star, curfews for Jews, bans on their using park benches, public transport, visiting cinemas, cafes and so on was perfectly obvious. The deportation of the German Jews, supposedly for 'resettlement' in Eastern Europe, was also public knowledge.
As for the Holocaust (genocide) it was supposed to be secret, but in practice information leaked. For example, most German soldiers on the Eastern Front had some idea of what was going on behind the front; they sometimes went home on leave and talked ... According to the historian Helga Grebing, writing in 1959, the predominant attitude was 'hear no evil, see no evil': most people had some idea and did not want to know more.
The Nazi persecution of the Jews was open and public. It was announced in the newspapers and on radio. There was nothing secret about it, and non-Jewish Germans could see it in their ordinary everyday lives. The Yellow Star was, after all, highly visible (as it was meant to be). In fact, the persecution of the Jews was well known abroad, and in some major cities in the US there were even anti-German demonstrations ...
The extermination of the Jews - the Holocaust - was supposed to be top secret. However, there is controversy about how much ordinary Germans knew about it.
You've made the classic mistake here, confusing Germans with Non-Jewish Germans, (or Hetereosexual Germans, non-Traveller Germans and so on).

Persecution was public and perfectly obvious for all to see. After all, if there's a sign saying 'No Jews allowed' it can be read by any literate person. Also, new measures against various groups were published in the press and announced (often gleefully) on radio.
On the other hand, the mass murders of Jews, Roma (gypsies) and others were secret, but many non-victims had some idea of what was going on.
Nazi persecution of the Jews was not a secret. Between 1933 and 1943 the Nazi regime issued about 430 decrees (laws) aimed specifically against the Jews. (See related question below). Nearly all of these measures were gleefully announced on radio and in the press. It was also very well known abroad, too.
What is more difficult to assess is what ordinary Germans knew about the genocide of the Jews (1941 onwards). They knew that Jewish neighbours were disappearing but were told that they were being 'resettled' in Eastern Europe. The actual Holocaust was secret, but some information did get out ... It seems that many Germans took the view 'hear no evil, see no evil'. In other words, they didn't want to know what was really happening.
Germany hid their genocide very well over the course of the war. From the time he came to power, Hitler had been shipping Jews off to "ghettos" saying that there the would live the rest of their lives amongst their own kind. But from there they would be sent to concentration camps or "work camps." The German people had their suspicions so many fled. After the end of the war in 1945, many camps were deserted with the Jewish prisoners still inside. Some of the soldiers at the camps were captured as prisoners, but the Allies were stunned when they found them.
yes, they benefited from it. [Apart from those German people who happened to be Jewish.]
Yes. Foreigners were able to visit Germany without much difficulty till the start of World 2 and many commented on the persecution of the Jews. What's more, large numbers of German Jews fled to the U.S., Britain and other countries from 1933 on. (Many who applied to enter were not allowed in). When the Holocaust started the Allies were informed by the Polish Resistance and others.

Hitler did not understand the Jews or know any Jews, so he was terrified of the Jews, which caused him to hate them and scapegoat them for all of the problems in the word.
as per i know Jews did not had any specific participles..
From i learned about it yes, thay must of know cause most of them went into hiding and such, hope this helped_____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.

Orthodox Jews do not know who the next messiah will be. But the Jewish definition of messiah is that he will be an ordinary human man, who will be a leader (and not a human sacrifice or a half-man half-god hybrid).

Yes they did know about him helping the jews.
ask yourself why anyone would risk their life, their status/livelyhood, their family's lives for people that they did not know, with the knowlegde that what they were doing was unlikely to make a difference. The Jews became victims not because ordinary people didn't stand up for them; Himmler infamously said that everyone knew a 'good Jew who was not like the rest', but they could not start making exceptions. They were victims because no government, no statesman, no nation stood up for them. It was shown to them by the fact that there was no trade embargo, no diplomatic protests, nothing was said about the mis-treatment of Jews before the war. The Nazis knew that they could do what they wanted and any ordinary people could not stop them.
It's very ordinary.
They don't think, they know who they are. They are the Jews, God's Chosen People!
yes.
yes, his wife did more for Jews than he did.
There are racist Jews and Jews that don't know Jews come in all colors.

The Nazis carried on a system of deception so that very many Jews didn't know that they were going to be killed.
