How did the United States respond to the Holocaust? Be sure to explain U.S. actions before World

History
1 answer:
g100num [7]3 years ago
8 0

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.

In which part of our Constitution were civil rights originally protected?
KengaRu [80]

Civil rights were initially contained in the <u>first</u> part of the US Constitution - the Civil Rights Acts which was ratified in the 14th Amendment (1868).

<h3>What are Civil rights?</h3>

Civil rights are rights that protect the liberty of individuals from being infringed by others, governments, and social organizations.

They include the right to vote, the right to a fair trial, the right to public education, the right to gainful employment, the right to use public facilities, freedom of religion, etc.

The Civil Rights Act (1866) was the first United States federal law to explain what citizenship is. It also declared that all citizens are equally protected by the law.

The main purpose of the act was to protect the civil rights of African descent born in or brought to the United States.

Thus, the first part of our Constitution, which is the Civil Rights Act originally contains the civil rights of citizens.
