In 1946, people in Germany and Poland could be forgiven for saying, "we didn't know". Today, no one can say "we didn't know..."

...all you can say is "We didn't want to know".

Also, the people of Germany and Poland 100% knew at the time.

Letting people say "we didn't know" was just a polite fiction the US, France and Britain allowed so they could exonerate more people who had been open Nazis.

@DealingWithTrouble Not quite true. The Nazis compartmentalized that information even within the Nazi party.

We have General Rommel's journals where he talks about troubling rumours he was hearing from Germany and he refused orders to separate Jewish prisoners.
