- Using euphemistic language. The Nazis never referred to the Holocaust as "murder" or "genocide." Instead, they used terms such as "resettlement" and "special treatment."
- Censorship. The Nazis controlled the media and used it to spread propaganda about the Jews. They also banned any books or articles that discussed the Holocaust.
- Intimidation. The Nazis threatened anyone who spoke out against the Holocaust. They often arrested and imprisoned people who were caught talking about it.
Despite the Nazis' efforts to keep the Holocaust a secret, some Germans did become aware of it. However, most of these people did not believe it or thought that it was exaggerated. They could not imagine that their own government would be capable of such atrocities.
The Holocaust was a terrible tragedy, and it is important to remember that the Nazis were responsible for it. They should never be forgiven for what they did.
