1. In Germany at the time the predominant attitude seems to have been that most people didn't want to know: 'hear no evil, see no evil' seems to have been a very widespread attitude among many of those who were not involved. 2. In Britain and the U.S. news of the Holocaust was at first met with skepticism, but then became widely known. However, it wasn't emphasized but at the time (or in the aftermath of World War 2); it was regarded as one of the most serious crimes committed by the Nazis - roughly on a par with launching a war of aggression.

In the Allied countries there was some sympathy for the victims and various committees were set up to try to rescue victims, but without much success.

News of the Holocaust was sporadic and irregular. It was not the case that there were daily, weekly or even monthly reports. I think most people in the Allied countries found it very hard to imagine what conditions were actually like. There wasn't that much of a 'public reaction' till on-the-spot' reports came through by radio when the Allies liberated the concentration camps.
