During the Holocaust, Britain and the United States did not do more to save Jews from the death camps due to a combination of factors. These included anti-Semitic attitudes, wartime priorities that prioritized military objectives over humanitarian concerns, lack of information, bureaucratic obstacles, and fear of admitting large numbers of refugees, including Jews, due to concerns about their impact on the economy and national security.
