halocaust terms

Bass saw the crematorium and the dead bodies piled and the skulls and ribcages yes he does becuase he cant nelieve it was going on for years and he didnt know till 10 years beforte the war started.he thought he could of done more to stop the halocaust Graber believes that he couldnt change what was happening. to much work for one person i think garber was scared that if he hadnt stayed working for the getsapo that the nazis would hurt his family. Nazi camps were near Warsaw, Poland Prague, and Belgrade. Most Nazi camps were located in the countries that they had alliances with or had control over, probably so that the rest of the world couldn't find out what was going on. he said it contained about a thousand people while this alll happened he just acted casual smnoking a cigerate i feel like he thought it was nothing and it was funny. he thought many people were going to be executed. . It shows that the United States either didn't care about what was going on or that they didn't really believe what the letter said until it was too late.
