Why did it take so long to rescue the Jewish people from their plight?

I assume by "plight" you refer to the Holocaust since there have been many "plights" in which Jews have found themselves and many in which they still find themselves.
In the case of the Holocaust, the reason that it took so long to rescue the Jews was twofold. Firstly, the Jews could only be saved by liberating the areas where the camps and ghettos were, which required a strong Allied advance. This did not happen until mid-1944. The second is that most people (in the Allied countries) just did not care enough about the Jews to worry about their suffering. This is quite similar to the apathy shown to the Tutsis in Rwanda and the East Timorese in East Timor.
