Excellent answer to my previous question. Short version: Americans were well aware of anti-Jewish violence in 1933, protested, but then stopped about a year later when distracted by other issues. There's a lesson in there.https://twitter.com/AnnAbuse37/status/987897026963636224 …

Good summary, but the Great Depression was more than a small distraction. Between the understandable response to WW1 and crippling economic problems caused by the Great Depression, you can kind of see what happened. Not an excuse, of course!

I think there's something a little more subtle that's even more of a lesson. Americans knew that Jews were being badly mistreated, and it allowed them to ignore signs of the Holocaust. Tons of Jews being sent on trains to camps? "Just Hitler being Hitler".
