I hope I did not imply that German people remained ignorant of concentration camps. German education in the 1970s. The woman I spoke with lived in a remote village and it was relatively easy to keep them from knowing.

How you teach children and what age would be appropriate to teach details about the holocaust is a difficult question.

I don’t believe that all Germans were ignorant of the Holocaust. It depended on where you lived , who you knew, etc.
When I was in Berlin in 1994, I met a woman (not LDS) who told me that after the war, the conquering soldiers (not sure which country) forced the school children to go to the closest Concentration Camp (Sachsenhausen) and gaze upon what their country had done. This woman was traumatized by this childhood scene and was appalled that my brother and I were going to visit Sachsenhausen. She detested the constant reminder of WWII.
