Lots of people knew about the death camps. They simply didn't care.So you wouldn't have taken Jews from Germany either I suppose.When you have a religion whose culture is to destroy other countries by annihilating their people, no one is safe.She said there should be a focus on admitting the most vulnerable, like persecuted religious minorities, or those who had been brutalized, like the Yazidi women.
^what is wrong about that?
At that time Most Americans were not in favor of war with Germany and no one knew about the death camps. They didn't find out until after the war. So your probably right.
It wasn't until the attack on Pearl Harbor that feeling changed.
Oh they might have heard rumors but I doubt anyone actually knew about them. Not until the end of the war when that horror was revealed.
My Dad was a WWII vet and he told me that they had heard rumors but laughed them off. He said no one even remotely thought those rumors were anything but rumors.
Oh I think loads of people cared. They probably had a hard time believing that anything like that could happen.
