This is a difficult question, but I think it did not actually make any change to the status of Jews in America. (Obviously, as public awareness of the Holocaust grew, antisemitism became less acceptable).
The holocaust began almost as soon as Hitler invaded Poland. It began in small ways and then grew. Most of the world was involved in WW2. Some of the countries that fought with Germany were:ItalyJapanAlbaniaBulgariaFinlandHungaryRomaniaThailand
This is not a simple answer: There were many people tried and punished for their involvement, there were many who died before they could be put on trial and there were many who escaped before they could be brought to trial.The Holocaust was initiated by the Nazis, but as it grew, non Nazis also helped and also non Germans.
The Holocaust
The Nazis invaded country after country, and this brought more and more Jews under German control. As a result, the Nazis' self-inflicted 'Jewish problem' grew and grew for them. (In particular, the invasion of Poland and, later, of the Soviet Union, brought a huge increase in the number of Jews under Nazi rule).The war shielded the Holocaust from outside intervention, in much the same way as WW1 shielded the Ottoman Turkish genocide of the Armenians in 1915.The Nazis were able to conduct the Holocaust in Poland, which is difficult to access from, say, Britain.The Holocaust was a kind of 'subplot' of World War 2. Saying this is not intended to diminish its significance but to put it in the context of World War 2.Some historians, such as Christopher Browning, see the Holocaust as part of a wider campaign by the Nazis to rid the world of what the latter called 'Jewish Bolshevism' ('Jewish Communism').
