Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the responses of the American public, press and government to the Holocaust in Europe during World War II. It discusses whether the U.S. government did enough to stop the genocide of over six million Jews. It shows how the U.S. government did very little to stop Hitler, how the press made little effort to give the proper coverage and how this kept the public ill-informed and passive.

From the Paper:

"The purpose of this paper is to examine the responses of the American public, press and government to the Holocaust in Europe during World War II and to ask the question: Did the U.S. do enough to stop the genocide to over six million Jews? The answer is simple: no. The U.S. government did very little to stop Hitler, the press made little effort to give the proper coverage and that in turn kept the public ill-informed and they acted very passively. There were different responses and actions taken by the U.S. While President Roosevelt had good intentions, he failed to help the Jews in Europe. The State Department of the U.S. took many actions to actually hinder the efforts of the people and government officials. The civilians of the United States were very passive towards relief of the victims of the Holocaust. However, there were some individuals, Jewish and non-Jewish alike, that made incredible efforts to do anything that they could. But over all, not enough was done to help the victims of the Holocaust."
