The Holocaust's effects weren't limited to the fact that many died, the Jewish (and other targeted groups) population dwindled, many went into hiding, some survived concentration camps (and their horrors) and most survivors watched friends and family die. When they went "home" they often weren't welcomed back, and if their house was standing, it was occupied by others. Denmark was pretty much the exception, as most Danes took care of houses and property of Jews and gave it back to their rightful owners.

Jews were taken to containment camps across Germany and were gassed, burned, murdered whatever just to get rid of them. Hitler had a dislike of Jews and accused them of being in the way and taking jobs from the German people, but the Jews were Innocent people just trying to make a living like everyone else.
meanwhile the German people were supporting Hitler because he wanted to help the economy and restore glory after being humiliated in WWI. why Hitler wanted to get rid of Jews is beyond me.
the very healthy grass around the remains of the containment camps is a disturbing reminder of the execution of the Jews. the grass is healthy because of the nutrients from the corpses and ashes.

I think it was the first time in Human history that a reasonable modern media for the time was able to show it, the camps, emaciated victims. Instead of just reading about the slaughter of innocent victims in history books.

People the world over were horrified. I think it made everyone more aware of world events. It certainly helped world opinion when Israel became a nation.

The Jews constant banter about it through human history has made non-jews indifferent to it

It put a chip on the shoulder of modern day Jews, similar to the slavery chip on american blacks and manifest destiny chip on the native american shoulders....
