Answer:

Option D is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main reason why U. S joined the Allies against the Axis powers was that it wanted to defend democracy and not to save the lives of the Jewish victims of the Nazi government. US government in the year 1944, formed the War Refugee Board, accredited with attempting to protect and grant aid for Jews and other minorities who were targeted by the Nazis. At the conclusion of the War, the rescue efforts of the United States protected tens of thousands of lives. But after the end of Holocaust differentiation led the laws and prevented thousands of Jews from migrating.
