It's frustrating, isn't it, to be able to look back in history and ask, "Why didn't they help more?" But hindsight is 20/20. I think if they'd known then what we know now, more would have been done (I'd like to hope!).

It is not obvious what other countries could have done in practical terms.

The routine, large-scale killings started in 1941 and took place in areas that the Allies could not access easily (or at all) ...

However, they could (and should) have listened more carefully to the early reports and publicized what was going on. The Allies could have asked resistance groups to make disrupting the Holocaust a high priority. As far as is known there was only one (!) instance in the whole of World War 2 where a resistance movement held up a train transporting Jews to camps and released and hid the 'passengers'.
