Until August 1941 West European Jews were encouraged to emigrate to countries beyond Nazi control. However, the outbreak of war in September 1939 disrupted international communcations. For those Jews who were still able to enter the US a common route was by way of Portugal ... They were able to pay their fares in advance in Germany. In September 1941, the Nazis introduced a total ban on Jews leaving areas under German control ... presumably before they had resolved to kill them all. So, the answer to you question is: before and after the Holocaust, yes; during the Holocaust (in the sense of genocide), no.

What role did the US play in aiding the Jews in Germany?

Sadly America did very little as a nation or a government to save the Jews of Europe. American immigration policy allowed very few European Jews to come to the USA even after the intentions of Hitler were known. The allies refused repeated requests by leading Jews to bomb the railroads to the Concentration Camps. In Israel today there is a museum named Yad Vashem. It is the Israeli national memorial to those who died in the Holocaust and a museum. Yad vashem has honored 23,000 non-Jews for saving Jewish lives during World War Two. It is very telling that while several thousand of those honored are from Poland only 4 come from America and only 14 from England. America basically abandoned the Jews to their fate.

What would be a good title for a paper for the Holocaust?

It would be best if you had a prefered angle to come from: The Nazis: Were ordinary soldiers forced to perpetrate the Holocaust? The Victims: Did the Jews of occupied countries think that their governments would save them? The Allies: Why were there not more relief efforts to save the survivors after liberation? Reflection: Did the rise in Holocaust denial in the 70's and 80's lead to an increace in Holocaust research? obviously it depends on what level you are at.
