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 role did eugenics play in the convincing the German people to hate the Jews?

Eugenics is not inherently antisemitic. For example, in Britain some eugenists were very impressed with the performance of Jewish kids at school, and drew completely different conclusions. I think there is a tendency to attach undue significance to the role of ideology in this case. What's more, Jews were not widely hated in Germany, except possibly in Bavaria. Before the Nazis came to power, Jews in Germany and abroad regarded the country as a good place to live in. If the Germans had been gripped by real hatred of the Jews, there would have been no need to try to keep the Holocaust secret.
