She was naive. She asked a friend who was about to have an audience with Hitler to tell him about how undersupplied the camp in Minsk is. Because in her mind surely the Führer wouldn’t let these people needlessly suffer. Hitler told the friend not to listen to “those rumors”.

No one is THAT stupid without a significant amount of denial or complicity.

She did not call them rapists and murderers. That’s what they told her. That’s the lie they told people outside of the camps to justify any cruelty. In this instance the extended lie was that they were coming from some other “normal” prison and not from the camp.

Ok, my bad, I thought she called them “rapists and murderer”

I just re-read that. The official story they got was that they were from a Sowjet prison. Not even a German one.
