There were many reasons. America was isolationist. Most countries didn't know exactly what was happening, and they certainly weren't aware of the numbers of casualties. A lot of countries didn't want to get involved in what could have been bigger than WWI (and was). The reason wasn't that they did not know, it was hard not to know the obvious, perhaps not to the full details, countries did not attack Germany until they were at risk.

Countries also were not ready to be involved, and believe it or not there was a lot of "anti-Semitic" feeling in all the countries. The U.S. did not get involved until they were bombed by the Japanese which at the time was an ally of Germany. Also the people and the government did not want to get involved because they were experiencing Great Depression also known as the dirty thirties.

How can the stories of Holocaust survivors and those who eventually freed them help to stop another Holocaust from happening?

The problem is whether the perpetrators are willing to recognize another holocaust as it is forming and occurring. For example, many people point out that the 50 million abortions (just in the U.S.) qualifies as another holocaust. But the perceived benefit (casual sex without responsibility) is so seductive and addictive that the perpetrators would not seriously consider its status as a holocaust.


What were US motives behind its actions during Cold War?

The US's goals were to stop Communism from spreading to other countries and to control or stop the military threat of Soviet Union and Communist China. This meant that the US had to have a military power and arsenal that was equal to or better than that of those countries.


What role did the Holocaust play in World War 2?

The role of the holocaust in WW2 was major. It is what made people decide what side to fight for. Many countries didn't believe that killing millions of innocent people was right so the joined the allied forces in a fight to stop it. ___ Until 1944 the British and US governments didn't want to know about the Holocaust. It was not widely reported or widely discussed in the media, so I don't see how "It is what made people decide what side to fight for". Countries fought for perceived national interest, not to stop the Holocaust.s

Why did some nations decide not to intervene in the Holocaust?

The question suggests that many countries in some sense "intervened" [to stop] the Holocaust, but that a few didn't do so. In fact, no country "intervened" in order to stop the Holocaust. No country went to war against Nazi Germany because of the Holocaust. (Israel didn't exist as a clearly defined or independent country at the time). Politics doesn't work like that. In fact most countries that fought against Germany did so because they were attacked by Germany or one of its allies.
