You say, "Now, I can almost understand why the German population after WWII said they didn’t know the extent of the horror that took place in their name."

Are you implying that the United States orchestrated the Holocaust?! That IS the horror of which you speak, correct? After all, that was the horror of the century and the German people either did not know it was taking place or chose to look the other way. Similar to what has been going on in Iraq and it sounds like you don’t think we have a moral responsibility to help end it. Amazing!
