    No ordinary citizens knew the truth about the gasschambers, least of all the Frank family.

    The propaganda named them “work-camps” which also sounds better then “prison”

    Edit: cruelty is gradual, after they hid they heard “rumors” on the radio.

    The actual thing they feared was deportation, which could be assumed to mean death but no one knew for sure.

      That is not correct and borders on historical denialism.
      The german people was at least implicitly, if not acutely aware of the cruelties and ethnic, political and ableistic “cleansings” perpetrated by the Nazi government. Just a quick glance at wikipedia gives you this information.
