Answer 1

Answer 2

They didn't think it was any of their business, and for the longest time people didn't really know what was going on in the death camps. They heard about it but they thought only prisoners of war, were sent there. ___ The Allies didn't want to know about the Holocaust till 1944.

Answer 3

The USA entered WWII, not 'The Holocaust', which was not known about in detail until very late in WWII, and wasn't really known as The Holocaust until after the war. The USA always wanted to stay out of European conflicts, but was drawn in to the world-wide conflict by the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbour. Speculation: Would The USA have entered at all if it had not been for Pearl Harbour?

The NAZI government was supported by fascist rich Americans lsuch as Joe Kennedy (shanty Irish rum runner), Henry Ford (anti union industrialist) and Charles Lindberg (notorious baby snatcher) and Prescott Bush (Grandfather of George W. and chief financier of Hitler whom he described in 1939 as a, "good christian who supports Law and Order.")

The holocaust had been reported to American and European officials as early as 1936. It just got worse as the war went on. Over 20,000,000 people were killed by Hitler in death and work camps, all the gypsys, all the dark skinned people meaning Africans and Turks, all the political opponents, all the freedom fighters they could find, and the Zionists claim that 6,000,000 were Jews (a number which can't be substantiated but has come into common use since Simon Weisenthal first used it in the early '50's) There were only about 2,500,000 practicing Jews in Europe in 1935, (practicing meant claiming heritage or going to synagogue at least once a year) and not all of them were killed by the NAZIs by any means. NAIs brought new meaning to the word "Jew."

A plurality of Americans were on the side of Germany in 1939 and it wasn't until Germany invaded Russia and the American Communist Party changed sides that there was a majority political support for helping Britain. But after the war the American communists were vilified by the growing fascist party in the U.S. as represented by Nixon, Reagan, and the Bushes.

I didn't know the word 'Holocaust' meaning 'the genocide of Jews in WWII' until about 1956, long after the end of WWII. The word was not in general use in Britain in the immediate aftermath of WWII.
