People were probably horrors because they didn’t know the extent in which the Jews were being treated and had become victims of mass genocide. Take the U.S for example, the public was aware of Nazis and there discrimination against Jews, but the press didn’t really show how bad it really was for them. When they found out around 1945 what was really fully going on, they were completely shocked and had sympathy towards the Jews. Ironically, the majority of the U.S population didn’t want to accept any Jew immigrants though to escape the Holocaust because they thought that they would take all of their jobs and mess up the economy.
