He is correct. The US entered WWIi after we were bombed at Pearl Harbor & Germany declared war on us. We did not enter to stop the extermination of the Jews…we didn’t even know about it until we liberated the death camps. Over 1 million Jews and others had already been murdered and experimented on. He is correct…no nation came to their aid as they were being rounded up and sent to the death camps.
Work camps. They didnt starve until the allies cut the german supply lines at the end of the war. Also have you seen the red cross document showing 247k not 6 million? Odd to say the least! Not to say the atrocities that were commited werent horrendous, but in the scale of all that happened in ww2 its really just a blip compared to all the others who lost their lives that just isnt taught these days.
My great-uncle was a POW in Germany, and they lived in borderline starvation. He was "lucky" (in that he got a bit more food) to be on a detail that wheeled in carts dead POWs to their final destination. When he was liberated, he weighed 85 lbs. He said that after their liberation, just down the road was a warehouse - stocked to the ceiling with Red Cross packages that the POWs never received. This is from his journal, only allowed to be released to family after his death because he wanted to record his experiences but not have to relive them with discussions. Can't speak for the Jewish prisoners, but nothing the Nazis did would surprise me, based on - at least - my uncle's accounts.
