How did the U.S. rescue the Jews from the concentration camps?

The US did NOT "rescue Jews from the concentration camps." When the US and England had a chance to destroy Nazi concentration camps with bombing, they refused, preferring instead to bomb other military targets. Years later, at the end of the war, after six million Jews had already been murdered, some US troops participated in "liberating" a few Nazi camps. However, by then it was too late. There were very few Jews left alive.

Did Hitler get his idea for concentration camps from US Indian reservations?

no he did not, he got the idea because he needed some way to create his perfect race. no, there were no electric fences around the reservations, they were not forced into slave labour. There are very few similarities between Hitler's concentration camps and Indian Reservations, closer similarites would be with the normal state prisons in the US. There were many similarites between Hitler's concentration camps and other concentration camps around the world.
