When my mom told me what happened in Germany, I was devastated. She always prayed for the Jewish souls who died in Europe and for forgiveness of the souls who did the killing. Since I wanted to pray with her, she had to explain what happened. I was around 6. She prayed for the Jews living in Isreal.

Many people like your Mom knew what was going on and were not in denial but we had only the newspapers then. No television just Movietone news at the cinema, no internet, no discussion on line, just conversation in church or with neighbors. People read the newspapers then but we didn't get a lot of news. We had far less information than we have today.
