To play devil's advocate, they can be considered correct from the proper perspective. In Nazi Germany, there were certain individuals who knew they were being persecuted. It may have been a terrible time for them. In NK, the people know nothing of the outside world and are living the best life possible in their view.
The question then becomes, are you better living with the knowledge that you may be a prisoner with a terrible future or living as a prisoner with no knowledge that you are one?
I get that your argument comes from a "Germany as a whole" perspective. I'm just trying to expose a different angle.
