ELI5: Did the German citizens who continued to live within Germany during WWII really not know about the genocide that was taking place within and around their borders?

I'm a history buff and love studying the events that transpired during the 20th century, but this is a question I've never had answered. 

Were the German citizens who weren't fighting in the war (directly) completely unaware of Hitler's 'Final Solution' or were they all just too ashamed to admit that they knew about it after 'The Allies' took Berlin?

They were aware that something was happening, but they had much bigger concerns at the time. They were fighting wars on several borders, and constant bombings made them more worried about their own skins than whatever might have happened to their Jewish neighbors.
