Before World War II, the U.S. had restrictive Immigration policies influenced by economic concerns, isolationist sentiments, and widespread anti-Semitic and xenophobic attitudes. The Great Depression heightened fears of job competition, leading to tighter controls on immigration. Additionally, the U.S. government was hesitant to intervene in foreign conflicts, and there was a lack of public awareness about the extent of the atrocities occurring in Europe, which limited advocacy for refugee admission.

What was the us response to the holocaust before during and after World War 2?

Before World War II, the U.S. response to the Holocaust was marked by widespread isolationism and reluctance to intervene in European affairs, despite reports of rising anti-Semitism and violence in Nazi Germany. During the war, while some efforts were made to provide refuge for Jewish refugees, such as the establishment of the War Refugee Board in 1944, the overall response was inadequate, with strict immigration quotas limiting the number of Jewish immigrants allowed into the U.S. After the war, the U.S. played a significant role in the establishment of the United Nations and the adoption of the Genocide Convention, and it also took steps to bring Nazi war criminals to justice, but many felt that more could have been done to save lives during the Holocaust itself.
