Many people were denying that it happened. Many wanted to stay out of the war in Europe claiming that it was none of our business. When the war was over, people blamed the U.S. Government for not getting involved sooner and saving lives. Sort of like what's going on now.

∙ 16y agoThe United States wasn't involved until later in the war. They didn't join until after Pearl Harbor in 1941 (December 7). Then the US was focused mainly on Japan but later became involved with liberating Jews from concentration camps. This was their primary role during the Holocaust. So to sum it up, the US was one of the main liberators of camps during the holocaust.

∙ 14y agoThe United States didn't help. It is not clear how much the government knew, but there are reports that it was suspected that people were being killed in camps. The main thrust of the United States was to fight the war and to win.
