Who found the concentration camps after the war?

As the Allied troops moved forward into the areas that had been occupied by the Germans they found the camps. There was no way to hide them or the people they had tortured. In some cases they tried to load people into box cars to hide them and then move them into a remote area, but they were more worried about escape than the deeds they had done. I had a professor in college who was an American army officer in WW2 and he was in a group who found one of the camps. He stated that the Germans were at afternoon mess when they found it, so they went in and shot the Germans as they sat eating lunch. Today people can visit the camps so we will never forget what humans and do to other humans.

What did the British soldiers see in the death camps?

The first major camp that the British Army reached was Bergen-Belsen, which was liberated on 15 April 1945 by the 11th Armoured Division. They were greeted by walking skeletons. The camp had about 60,000 prisoners at the time, many of them suffering from typhus and other diseases. (There were also an estimated 13,000 unburied corpses strewn around the camp). For 2-3 months after liberation the death toll remained high. The place was desperately overcrowded and insanitary. What the British soldiers saw was a scene of unimaginable horror. It was reported at the time by the BBC's Richard Dimbleby and was filmed extensively by the British Army - and later shown in cinemas in Britain and the US. It was also shown to all German prisoners-of-war held by the British.

Why did the US not make rescue a priority in the holocaust?

The issue of death camps was not prominent during the war, and the extent to which the murder of civilians by Germany occured was greatly underestimated by the Allies. In any case, 'rescue' was absolutely impossible without first defeating Germany, an undertaking which required the combined strength of the Soviet Union, the United States, Great Britain, and various other Allied nations, over several years. The term 'Holocaust' itself did not come into general use until many years after the war, and Nazi policies of genocide, especially directed against Jews and Romany (gypsy) were side issues, never comparable in importance to the victory of the Allied forces and the defeat of Germany.
