The United States responded the Holocaust during the war by not showing much interest. Congress did not raise Immigration quotas, and even the existing quotas for Jews went unfilled. In 1944, nearly two years later of knowing about this, Roosevelt created the War Refugee Board to try to help people that were threatened by Nazis. Despite the late start, the WRB's programs helped saved some 200,000 lives.

∙ 14y agoAmerica's reaction to the Holocaust was dealt with very poorly, up until its full understanding of what the Nazi's were really plotting to do. If it wasn't for Americas delayed reaction to the Holocaust, it would have gone to be much longer. But also, if America had dealt with the situation much earlier, the Holocaust would have ended sooner.

∙ 12y agoThe American public at large was ignorant of the wide-spread genocide, especially the crimes occuring in the East. Washington knew from intelligence sources and from a pair of prisoners who had escaped from Auschwitz and, mericulously, made it to the USA. In fact, the US was even aware of the percise location of the main railway leading to Auschwitz, but refused to bomb it, stating that it was not a military priority. Sad but true. One of the after-effects of American Holocaust awareness was probably a dutiful sense of solidarity with newly-independant Israel in 1948; the Americans gave official recognision of the Jewish State within 24 hours of it's existance.

What do Holocaust deniers get for denying the Holocaust?
#1 They get some kick or other out of it. I don't think they are paid for denying the Holocaust._____# 2 There is not really a punishment for denying the Holocaust.______Regarding #2 There are officially 14 countries that have enacted thought crime legislation to specifically protect the holocaust from revisionist.It is important to note that the holocaust is the only subject in the history of the west that is not subject to debate or revision. Denier speculate that this is because the history could not stand up to standardized historical review. My oppinion is my own, but i encourage you to look into the claims and contentions of the holocaust narrative.Some people just want to deny the fact that humanity is capable of such atrocities, and simply want to forget about the nightmarish past. Other, more aggressive, deniers see Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and other Holocaust victims as sub-human, and that they will go to heaven if they rid the world of them.Another Answer:From what I have read and the revisionsts I met, they truly believe their arguments are logical and accurate and in some claims they are very convincing.Another Answer:There are numerous political reasons why Holocaust Deniers deny the Holocaust, namely to undermine the nature of the State of Israel or the Rights that Jews and other minorities have gained since the Holocaust. Israel is seen by many as being an international reaction to the Holocaust. If the Holocaust was in some way invalidated, this would, in their minds, invalidate the State of Israel. Similarly if minorities were not as violently oppressed and exterminated as they were in the Holocaust, there would be no need to protect them as strongly as they have been protected in Europe.It is important to note that although the Holocaust swayed international opinion as regards Zionist aspirations, the basis for the State of Israel comes out of writings by Herzl, Jabotinsky, and Ahad Ha-Am from before the Holocaust and the connection between the Holocaust and the on-the-ground creation of the State of Israel is tenuous if at all present.
