Most arrived by ship from Europe, just like other immigrants; many were fleeing persecution and lack of prospects - again, like other arrivals in the US.

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.
