Why is Hitler reviled more than Stalin and Mao?
Who killed far more people, mostly their own people and outside of wartime, and who many in their own countries still regard as heroic figures?

@Ferise1 Did you miss Eisenhower's instructions about filming everything they found in the death camps?

@Ferise1 Perhaps not the major acts in perpetration in the extermination-camps. Though some of the Kristallnacht and other expulsions and even killings, away from the camps, were photographed by the Nazis themselves.
However the Allied forces and the journalists with them, certainly did photograph and record spoken commentaries of what they found in the captured extermination camps. As the Allies approached, many of the camp staff fled, leaving everything and everyone on show. Some of the camps' commandants were caught though, including Irma Grese, who was one of the cruellest.
The atrocities cannot possibly be denied, and nor should they be forgotten, as a lesson for all humanity.
You may have noticed that Germany has just given a woman now in her nineties, a suspended prison-sentence for her part in the Holocaust (as the Jews themselves named it after the War). She had been the secretary, still in her late-teens, to one of the extermination-camp commandants.
