“Given the history of Europe . . . “
Given the history of America. This country did not fight a war to save Jews from concentration camps. We even turned a whole boatload of them away seeking sanctuary - the S.S. St. Louis in 1939. FDR knew what Hitler was doing and didn’t do a damn thing, and Truman was anti-semitic.
No reason I see for the Europeans to do anything to save us from concentration camps.
The S.S. St.Louis - the ship that no one wanted.
Hitler knew then he could do anything he wanted.
