The United States did not have good relations with the Jews before the war. Cases of anti-Semitism in the US often occurred, though not to the same degree and aggressiveness as in Europe. Moreover, the American government was indifferent to the suffering of the Jews.

The United States joined the Allies struggle against the Axis countries (i.e. Germany, Italy, and Japan) in World War II to defend democracy, not to save the Jewish victims of the Nazi regime.

However, in January 1944, the US government established a War Refugee Commission to try to rescue and provide assistance to Jews and other minority groups being decimated by the Nazis. During the last year of the war, US initiatives effectively saved tens of thousands of lives. In the spring of 1945, the Allied Forces, now counting on the collaboration of millions of US soldiers, defeated Nazi Germany and its Axis collaborators, thus ending the Holocaust process.

What terms did the allies offer the axis by declaring that they would accept unconditional surrender?

Rzqust [24]

By deciding upon the policy of unconditional surrender, the Allies were changing the diplomatic process typically associated with previous wars, such as World War I. Instead of accepting an armistice and then negotiating a peace treaty the Allied forces, led by President Franklin Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Premier Joseph Stalin decided upon a more aggressive approach by demanding a unilateral unconditional surrender of the Axis powers. These terms would be determined by the Allied forces and placed upon of the Axis territories with no negotiation.
This policy placed all of the negotiating power with the Allied powers and gave them the upper hand in designing a post World War II landscape, something especially important to all the countries. Both the United States and Britain had hoped to use these peace terms to stem-off the complete control of Europe by the Soviet Union, while the Soviet Union hoped to use the peace terms to hold the United States and Britain to previously agreed to contributions towards the war.
