When its full extent was heard, seen and accepted, but particularly when individuals and groups began to deny its very existence.

____________

Some people have regarded it as important ever since it first became known. However, for a long time it was widely seen as the worst of a whole series of Nazi atrocities. From the late 1960s on it has come be regarded as as increasingly important. However, it wasn't till perhaps that 1990s that it came to be seen as a cardinal event in 20th century history. Obviously, this is very much a 'broad sweep' answer and in some countries and among some groups of people the situation was or is different. Widespread and conscious 'memorialization' of the Holocaust seems to date from the 1990s.

Incidentally, I would share the view that to some extent memorialization has been fuelled by denialism.

What are the ten most important things a person needs to know about Auschwitz?

Firstly its location. Its history. Its significance to the perpetration of the Holocaust. Its significance to current understanding of the Holocaust. How it has been abused by those who would deny the Holocaust. How it has been abused by the tourist industry. How it has been forced to change by contemporary politics. Why it was used as a term to encapsulate the entire Holocaust. Who pays for it to be maintained. As it stands; who is it for? These are in my opinion the ten most important things, obviously there are a multitude of bits of information and figures all included within its history and picking the ten most important out of those will be highly subjective.
