You state in your blog, "That’s right, ANGRY! They stated that the United States and the rest of the allied army were not really concerned with the liberation of the Jews. As they went on, they began to describe the selfishness of America, only wanting to stop Hitler, and possibly free the Jews once that was completed. "

What part of those sentiments is wrong? The USA wasn't terribly concerned about the Holocaust. They were more concerned about winning the war.

They knew where the concentration camps were, they knew where the creamatoria were yet FDR didn't allow our pilots to take out the train tracks leading to the camps for fear it would play into Hitler's anti-Semitic propaganda machine. They wouldn't even allow the pilots to take out the creamatorium ovens. The Jews have a right to tinge their gratitude with anger at the US because we could have done more to save Jewish lives BEFORE liberation and we didn't.

FDR and the USA could have sided with the angels by trying ot prevent Jews from ended up in these camps but we didn't.

Monday morning quarterbacking.... The anglosaxon world came to Europe and many died and they liberated everybody in the camps Jews Gypsies Communists and all those deemed unfit by the Nazis.There is nothing anyone can say that will change that fact.
The complacency of the german people put them in the camps together with the cowardly french collaborators,dutch and italian also.
Americans,Australians British and Canadian kids died to free these people.
The Russians paid the greatest price but they and their homeland were actually under attack by the nazis.
