They
knew about the Holocaust
In
the BBC television programme "Young Elizabeth",
it was said that King George VI, among others, became fully
aware of the Holocaust early on but it was decided that
"the news was too terrible to publicise". One
is unable to make sense of that statement except to conclude
that the British Foreign Office wanted to hush up the news
as it suited their policy of preventing Jews from reaching
Palestine.
It
is well-known that allied planes overflew the death camps
on several occasions but made no attempt to disrupt the
proceedings.
