The Holocaust's Affects on America

Paper Summary:

This paper explores the ways that American society and culture was affected by the Holocaust. It explains how at first the Americans thought they would be spared the horrors of this war, but how towards the end they were as deeply involved in witnessing the atrocities as the other Allies. It explains how the American public received the news of the concentration camps, how the war affected American-Jewish relationships and its relationship with Germany after the war.

From the Paper:

"Nazi Germany's rule led to the death of millions of European Jews. While World War II began as a European War, American eventually got into the act as an ally. By the end of the War, America was rolling its tanks into the concentration camps of the Nazis, all across Eastern Europe, freeing concentration camp prisoners and experiencing firsthand eyewitness accounts that were indescribable and utterly inhumane."
