Did most of them know what was going on?

I would say that most did not know the true extent of the
extermination camps which were located primarily in occupied Poland for that very reason. Those who lived near the camps that were located in Germany would have known something bad was happening, but like most people - as long as it was happening to someone else - they stayed out of it. Not much they could have done without risking their own lives. Think about what you would have done if you were a civilian living near a concentration camp. You could throw your own life away - and the lives of your family - or you could mind your own business. Sorry, that's the reality as I see it.
Most people care more about themselves and their families than they do about strangers. Remember that the party (NAZI) controlled the media. There were no investigative journalists poking around and commenting on the atrocities committed.

first of all Iraq replaced into not in touch in 9/11 (for that be counted no guy or woman iraqis have been the two). 2d - we did not bypass to conflict with Germany as a results of holocaust. We have been attacked with the help of Japan. We declared conflict on Japan who have been in touch in a mutual risk-free practices %. with Germany and Italy. This resulted in us being at conflict with all 3. 0.33 Bush insiders have shown what's obvious from Bush speeches in the previous 9/11 - that Bush replaced into obsessed on invading Iraq from the 2d he replaced into elected.

According to Eric A. Johnson and Karl-Heinz Ruband "What We Knew, Terror, Mass Murder, and Everyday Life in Nazi Germany", pages387-398 at 393, "approximately one-third of the German population eventually became aware of the mass murder during the war years." Reviews of oral histories they conducted indicated knowledge by "25% for the entire population shortly before the end of the war" at page 396, with "varying degrees of knowledge and clarity" at page 396

yes they know what was going on. that's why Schindler made his famous Schindler's list to save 1100 Jews during the onslaught of the Holocaust. he is a Nazi.

Everybody knew the Jews were being rounded up and shipped off. Most people approved and many actively participated. Not too many knew they were being systematically murdered. The Nazis worked hard to keep that under wraps. But based on how little resistance there was to the other atrocities, it's doubtful that many would have cared.

unfortunately yes. some of them tried to fight against it but if they did, they would either be shot, or sent into concentration camps.
