Best Answer

The 'world' didn't care.

__________

A lot of the world didn't know the situation was as bad as it was in Europe during that time.

___________

Actually, the Holocaust was regularly reported in the media in Allied and neutral countries from November 1942 on, but seems not to have registered widely. Part of the trouble was that in practical terms there was very little that the Allies could do about it - and of course many people just didn't care.

  • People stayed silent because they only cared about themselves
  • People stayed silent because they didn't want to be beaten up or sent to the concentration camps.
  • People stayed silent because they were ignorant. Some people knew a little about what was happening and made a point of not trying to find out more.

The main reason was that no one knew it was going on. The prisoners of the concentration camps weren't escaping or living to tell, so no one would know, and the Nazi's certainly weren't going to tell anyone. Allied planes first discovered the camps when they were flying over the camps. Before that, the allies had no idea what was happening to these people. And what would anyone in Germany do about it? Go to the police? The police were the ones committing the crimes.

Hitler was probably using Propaganda to make the people believe that this is what the country needed. The Nazis were formed and they would make people believe. Nobody "let" the holocaust happen. Many countries were involved in fighting Germany to stop the holocaust. The Jews of course tried to stop it, but the Nazis could kill them off easily.

_________

Hitler DID use propaganda.
