A lot of decent people at the time couldn't imagine that the reports being carried out of occupied Europe by people like Jan Karski were the literal truth: it was too comforting to believe that they had to be hearsay or exaggeration. One of Eisenhower's most prescient acts was to order the extensive filming of the camp liberations and the prisoners immediately after liberation that he did. The record exists to refute the deniers today and sadly, it's still needed. The Ukrainians, taking history to heart, seem to be gathering the same kind of record. Slava Ukraini!
