Yesterday, I watched a documentary on the National Geographic channel called "Hitler's Hidden Holocaust." In addition to extermination camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau, Hitler had a special program that sent squads of killers to villages and cities in occupied countries throughout europe and Nazi occupied areas of the old Soviet Union. The special squads called: "Einsatzgruppen" would round up all the Jews in a particular village, including women, and children, take them to an isolated area and murder them, usually with guns.
There are old photographs and a short film that shows townspeople attending these mass murders. It is possible that the Germans forced the townspeople to watch, but I wonder how many willingly chose to watch.
