In Nazi occupied Poland people who hid Jews faced the death penalty, and in other countries under Nazi rule they risked being sent to a concentration camp. (The penalties were not always enforced).
If a family was found to be harboring fugitive Jews, the Gestapo would usually shoot the Jews and then kill the family.
This was not always the case, however, because the Gestapo were very good at getting what they wanted. They would present families suspected of harboring Jews with 2 options:
Reveal the location of the Jews, or suffer a humiliating death at the hands of the SS.
The Germans who did not agree with Hitlers decision and hid Jewish people were killed if caught. Since Hitler was the leader, he wanted everyone to hate the Jews.
When 5-star general Dwight D. Eisenhower witnessed the liberation of Ohrdruf concentration camp, he knew people would deny it and he wanted the entire camp filmed. Today, there are some people who deny the Holocaust; all of them are anti-Semitic and hate Jews for one reason or another.
Yes he did. My grandfather was one of them.
If the Holocaust had never happened, the world would be a different place. The world may have been better, with less discrimination.
