I have it on reliable authority that, in the lowest circle of Hell, Herr Goebbels and other senior Nazis are obliged to watch the latest BBC dramas and sitcoms 24 hours per day after being told that they are an accurate representation of ethnic diversity across Europe in the 21st-century.
The lady did say she didn't realise how bad it had become until she came out of prison 5 years later, as she thought the concentration camps were "correction" camps - her former boss for example who was discovered to be homosexual was taken away and never seen again.
And some of the (usually American amateur) footage showed German citizens made not only to gaze on the piles of rotting bodies but to also make them bury the victims in either individual coffins/graves and mass graves, after having to transport the corpses, in some cases, on barrows carrying two of three at a time. It seemed the intention was to ensure they all knew what had really been going on as it seems nobody outside of Hitler's coterie knew the full extent of the horror.
This it seems, was borne out by Brunhilde Pomsel, the 103 year old (the secretary and stenographer to the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels) who also spoke of an iron box in which were kept very secret papers relating to the camps. She stressed how it would be difficult for people NOW to understand how anyone THEN could not know what was going on, but she said that that IS the way it was - the German people were oblivious to how heinous it all had all become.
