I was told about the lampshades, the tortures of mengele on twins and the freezing experiments, about Belsen which the Brit army liberated and there were quite a few lurid paperbacks about back then detailing the horrors of the camps.
There was a series on the BBC about WW2, everyone watched it. "The World At War" This mentioned the holocaust quite a few times. I hope this helps.
Yes we did talk about it. I was born in '48 and knew about this, and so did lots of others I grew up with.
