Best Answer

If you count the fact that they changed their Immigration policy for Jews to make it harder for them to escape the Nazis, then you could say that they got involved very quickly.

___

No, the US immigration laws were tightened during the early 1920s.

------

No, in the mid-1930';s though the quotas for German emigration stayed the same as those introduced in 1927 (if memory serves), it became harder for Jews to fill those places as people could no longer apply in person at an embassy. The US wanted to keep a tighter reign on where an when visas were granted, before by issuing them from the embassy there was a fair amount of 'lag' and it was unsure whether an applicant was using the previous or the next years visa, so the system became more centralized and the criteria for being granted a visa harsher. It has been many years since i studied US immigration policy, but as i remember, this is accurate.

I wonder if you are confusing World War 2 with the Holocaust (which happened during World War 2). Neither the US nor any of its Allies was directly "involved" with the Holocaust.

How have the theologians attempted to reconcile the notion of a benevolent God with the Holocaust?

Some Theologians feel that the Jews are the suffering servant that is mentioned in scripture. Others will rationalize it by saying G-d will not get involved in this world, so the Holocaust is merely the result of mans evil, not the rejection of a benevolent G-d. There are others still that feel the Holocaust was a punishment for the Jews because they abandoned the Torah. Another view is that the holocaust was so horrific that knowledge of the event was able to break down hundreds of years of anti-semiticism in Christian churches.


How does the Holocaust relate to canada?

There are few theories relating Canada and the Holocaust. For example, there is a small community named Swastika. The town was named after the Swastika Gold Mine staked in the autumn of 1907. The provincial government sought to change the town's name during World War 2 but the citizens rejected the idea insisting that the town had held the name long before the Nazis adopted the swastika symbol. Canada was a part of the Allies which jointly defeated the Nazis ending the holocaust in history so they were involved in liberating the prisoners.

Why did it take so long to make stalking a crime?

It took so long to make stalking a crime because it's hard to define when someone is stalking. There are also First Amendment issues involved. The case that set the precedent involved Rebecca Shaeffer, who was murdered by an obsessed fan who had stalked her for 2 years prior to the incident.

Why is America still talking about the 6 million Jews that died in the past when over 100 million Africans died in the slave trade?

There are some unstated assumptions in this question: 1. that the Holocaust happened so long that the time has come to forget and and to shut up about it. 2. That the numbers involved (6 million) make it rather unimportant. 3. That the Holocaust and the slave trade are comparable.As for #1 the slave trade ended long, long before the Holocaust began, so go figure the logic of what you are asking. #2 Yes, there have been other cases of genocide ... and they are all outrageous. #3 It has become fashionable to compare the Holocaust and the slave trade, but it is a misleading comparison. Of course, both involved gross indignities, suffering and deaths. However, the slave trade was not about extermination: the aim was to get the slaves to the New World alive and sell them. The purpose of the Holocaust was to kill all Jews in Europe.The words 'still talking' are misleading. If one goes back to the 1950 and early 1960s one finds that very little was said in public about either the Holocaust or the slave trade.
