As we know today there has been a lot of talk about with the allowance of Syrian refugees into the United States. There has been a variety of responses in the US, which compares to what happened to the Jews during the time of the Holocaust. The Americans are responding to this situation very similarly to when the Jews tried to come and settle in during World War II. In comparison to the refugee situation, the Holocaust was very similar mostly by the responses that the US made. When the Holocaust began Jews tried to migrate as far as possible from Germany but as they did that they sometimes settled into countries that the Germans didn’t like which meant that the Jews would be captured. So since the US and Germany didn’t get along with each other we didn’t allow Jews to settle in. The US had a fear that they would try to send Jews to spy and sabotage us in favor of Germany. From that fear, the US didn’t even think about accepting any Jews during the years of the War and even the years before it. But even with the fear and their knowledge of what was going on in Europe they still didn’t allow acceptance to the Jews. …show more content…

With this takeover, Germany’s heritage suddenly had two completely different outlooks. One included the treatment and acceptance of such cultures and ethnic groups as the Jewish population that had contributed the German heritage. While, West Germany accepted the Jewish impact on their heritage due to the United States’ relations with Israel, the view of the communistic regime in East Germany differed. Refused by its acceptance in the West, this led to the destruction of many synagogues in East Berlin. Directly linked to this was the destruction of the synagogue in Potsdam.

Unlike Great Britain's attempts to help as many Jews as they could, going beyond their quota limits, the United States government implemented restrictive immigration policies, such as the Immigration Act of 1924, which set strict quotas on immigration from certain countries, restricting the number of refugees allowed entry despite knowing of the increasing persecution of Jews and other targeted groups in Nazi-controlled territories. This is apparent in Source F (first picture), which is a written paper about the visa division. The paper indicates an intention to impose stricter regulations and limitations on certain nationalities, because the United States aimed to "safeguard" its best interests of the people and its reputation, by introducing additional "obstacles" to complicate the visa entry process, thereby revealing a reluctance to extend assistance to multiple Jewish people to protect its image. In doing so, the Jews who tried to flee the pogrom faced dire consequences. Numerous victims were forced to stay in Nazi-controlled areas where they suffered persecution, incarceration and eventually mass execution in concentration camps due to the lack of effective ways to flee.

As the laws against Jews in Germany got progressively worse, some Jewish people thought to stick up for their rights, but it was futile. Jewish people began fleeing the country, but few countries would take them due to the fear of a newly empowered German state. On the evening of November 9, 1938, the Holocaust began with carefully coordinated attacks on Jewish businesses. Unfortunately, this was just a sample of the horrors that would be shown in the next twelve years. Hindsight is already 20/20 and from the events leading up to the Holocaust most historians concur that the Holocaust should have been predicted and stopped.
