Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • American officials knew of the Nazi persecution of the Jews but did little to stop it.


  • Despite pressure from Jewish groups, the U.S. only slightly increased immigration quotas for Jewish refugees.


  • When the Nazis began their policy of extermination in 1941, U.S. officials tried to keep it a secret.


  • The American press gave the Holocaust little coverage.


  • Despite reports of Nazi genocide, the U.S. government turned away boatloads of Jewish refugees, sending them back to Germany to their deaths.


  • American military strategists knew of the existence and location of Nazi death camps, but they chose not to try to bomb them or the railroad lines leading to the camps.
