Newspapers carried debates on the accuracy of the series and whether a fictional version of Hitler's ultimate atrocity should be shown...
...protested the slaughter. "How and why could this sort of thing happen?" asked one horrified young viewer. "Where were the churches? Why did they not protest? Why was there no resistance?" Those who had lived through Hitler's reign reproached themselves. Said a Frankfurt book salesman: "I'm forever ashamed of my generation. How could we allow a beast like Hitler to come to power...
