I’m struggling with some research at the moment and would find it useful for some other peoples input.

I’ve been looking into this for a while now, but I keep getting conflicting points of views which seem both logical and somewhat unacceptable at the same time. Given the nature of the event it seems a struggle to find any information that is written objectively or honestly. All “evidence” and/or accounts seem to be subjective with a bias to their own argument.

Why did it take so long to stop the Holocaust? What are reliable sources on the subject?

I take into consideration that times were different then and whereas these days news can travel around the globe in a minute, I’m struggling to accept that even then without things such as the internet an operation of that scale could go unnoticed for that long, therefore I don’t believe no one knew for ages.

A few other theories include the allies were told but it seemed so unbelievable that they dismissed it as just propaganda. OK, yes what happened is so shocking and inconceivable I can see that it would be doubted or questioned for a brief moment, but then again Hitler and the Nazi’s never made a secret of their hatred towards Jews and their ideas to eliminate them, and they were already known for their practice in eugenics, so they weren’t above killing people they deemed unworthy of existence.

There are also accusations that suggest they did know but apparently didn’t want the war to be about siding with Jews as there were fears it would increase antisemitism.

Or maybe my question is when researching a moment in history that is as political and traumatic as this one, how or is it even possible to take human emotion out to come to an objective conclusion? Hindsight can be good when looking into history because it can help piece things together but I wonder if it is part of the problem as to why I am failing to see how this could have happened. Or is this one of those moments of history that will never really be concluded and always debated?
