Distance was an issue, access was another, but will was the largest. The US was so far away that anything that they might do would take a long time to enact, what they would have done was also limited to the fact that continental Europe was occupied and it would take some time before the Allies could invade. But the main issue was the the US did not want to do anything.
Some reasons for the limited US response to the Holocaust are listed below.Skepticism about the accuracy of the information received.The remoteness and inaccesibility of Poland, which is where nearly all the extermination camps were.Please see related answer.
Nothing specific, the US was fighting a war for most of the time during the Holocaust.
They talk about the holocaust?
During the Holocaust, there was a war going on and immigration to the US was basically halted.
The Holocaust occurred during WWII and was perpetrated by the Nazis in Europe. VE Day was in May of 1945. Truman became US President 12 April 1945 because of the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. So for the Holocaust, Roosevelt was the US President during the Holocaust.
The U.S. started to help in the Holocaust when the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor.
Franklin D Roosevelt was president. Not sure about how he felt about it.

There was no response, not even diplomatic or economic sanctions. This led Hitler to be more and more draconian with the Jews and eventually led to the Holocaust.
Bob Hope was not a hero of the Holocaust. He was in no way involved. During this period he worked for the USO providing entertainment and morale boosting shows for the US army, who also had nothing to do with the Holocaust.
yes, but not many.
I am sure there were attempts at making an underground railroad like during slavery in the US. The Hiding Place, a book about that sort of topic was written by a Jew caught during the holocaust.
