I really wonder why he didn't act.

[senateforcaster]

he definately couldve done something, but at the time the republicans were even more anti semetic, so they wanted to do even less. the repub sympathizers, like Lindberg, didnt even want to be at war. As a whole, the country truly didnt care and thats a shame.

FDRs inaction was a calculated decision. To FDR the Jews were expendable. The holocaust detracted significantly from the German's ability prosecute the war. It denied the German military industrial complex many, many scientists, professors and engineers and more than a million "Israeli" soldiers. Furthermore, the death camps required thousands of SS soldiers to man and operate and tied up a sizable percent of their rail capacity. What else would you expect from a Democrat?

He was a Democrat. He wanted a 5-year study to be sure of the intelligence.
