The United States did not ignore the Holocaust. The world didn't really know that the Holocaust was occurring. That's the way it works with a regime. Information doesn't get in or out. The rest of the world simply knew that Nazi Germany was fighting other nations. When tales of the Holocaust did get out, it sounded so horrifying that people didn't believe it could be possible. America did not ignore the War either. We were in it far before GI's ever shipped out. We gave a great deal of financial support to the Allies, which is one of the reasons Pearl Harbor occurred. But without knowledge of the Holocaust, America thought it was just another European war. We thought it was just a turf war, and as such was none of our business. That's why America stayed out of it. But we didn't ignore it. Read about the Holocaust. It was a massive event. Not knowing about it today is ignoring it. You need to delve deeper than simply asking a question to people you don't even know over the internet.

By mid 1942 the US and British governments were well informed about they Holocaust. In practice, there was very little that they could do in the short term.

From about November 1942 on the Holocaust was reported in the media and people even set up bodies to try to lessen the toll, but for some reason all this has been forgotten.
