Did general eisenhower order an end to the Holocaust?

Answer 1

The Holocaust continued to the last day of the war. The murders stopped at each individual camp when Allied troops arrived at the gate. Even then, people continued to die for a few days, from disease and starvation. People who have been so starved for so long, such as the living skeletons who greeted the Allied troops, cannot immediately begin eating normal food, and all the first line Allied combat troops had with them was their survival rations. In many camps there were piles of recent dead still unburied when Allied troops arrived. Often the guards knew the Allies were near and would try to slip away.

Eisenhower had nothing to do with giving any orders about the holocaust. He did not have to tell his soldiers to bring this to a halt where they found it going on. One look at what the Germans had been doing gave a great sense of purpose to many Allied soldiers, who, if they had not understood before why they were having to fight, surely understood when they saw these camps. Many were so enraged they forced Germans from the nearest town to come and see it for themselves, and often made them bury the emaciated corpses.
