# During the Holocaust in the sense of systematic genocide (1941-1945) the U.S. and Germany were at war. There was no direct contact between the two countries except in battle. Moreover, communications had been disrupted by war, and from September 1941 onwards Jews were forbidden to leave Germany and German-occupied territory. # The extermination camps were in Poland, which was largely inaccessible to the U.S. It was a very long way from American bomber bases. # Until spring/early summer 1944 the U.S. government was skeptical about the reports it had received. # Saving Jews had a low priority for the U.S. government. All these points applied also to Britain. Having said this, the Allies could have tried to bomb the rail network near Auschwitz. One of the reasons why the Nazis chose Auschwitz as the site for their biggest extermination camp was that is a major rail junction. They could also have urged resistance groups in Nazi-occupied countries to give a high priority to intercepting trains taking victims to death camps. There is only one (yes, one!) case on record of a resistance group stopping a train and freeing (some of) victims. (The train also carried armed SS guards, so a gun battle developed and the attackers weren't able to free all the victims). The incident happened in Belgium. Obviously, it would have been best if the U.S., Britain and other Allies had accepted more refugees before the outbreak of World War 2.

I not sure if he had a friend or something but the Nazis were his men and they controlled most of thew holocost.
no, but that is what the tv company that produced the series 'Holocaust' tried to do.
Non-Jews saved the lives of Jews in the Holocaust because they felt it was the morally right thing to do, even with the dangers surrounding the hiding and helping of Jews.
they were punished or were killed. none who helped the Jews were just left alone.
At first it was a matter of politics.Hitler was elected to office by the people of Germany.It was considered to be a matter of German sovereignty as long as it invovlved only German citizens.After Hitler invaded Poland It became the worlds' problem.
