To my knowledge, civilians were forced to see the camps, plain and simple - no trickery about it. Also to my knowledge, most accepted it, while a few stubbornly resisted. While people largely worked to distance themselves from the events of the war afterwards, the connection's still ingrained enough that as a whole, Germany is NOT repeating, or planning to repeat, what led up to it anytime soon. Again, if you have further sources, they'd be useful.
I know one thing that vastly helped was bringing in press from everywhere to document the camps. Not only were UN war reporters brought in, but local German ones as well. If the FCC Fairness Doctrine, or something similar, was reinstituted, that could force right-wing media into covering more of the pandemic's effects on America. Barring that, an executive order from the Biden Administration, or an Anonymous operation would work.
In the end though, people will never be able to fully convert any group - all we can do is convince as many as we can, and inoculate thoughts against future hatred.
Moving the comment makes sense, BTW - I've given it it's own thread now.
