Holocaust- Bomb The Tracks?

[grampahol]

There seems to be an overall lack of understanding the contempt for Jews globally at the time and not just in Germany. Anti Semitism wasn't just isolated to Germany or the Nazi regime. There was very little sympathy at the time for Jews most everywhere. It wasn't until after the war was over that anti semitism was frowned upon like it is today and even today Jews are hated by many especially in the middle east. Once again here we are applying the standards of today with the standards of years past. 
We could apply the same thing today to homesexual behavior then? How about racial discrimination? When the US inturned Japanese citizens few people actively objected and yet today most people see it as an outrage.
Are we to expect that in the 1940s the world would have foreseen the changes in how people view things today? Hardly. 
The simple fact of the matter is that the Nazi regime wasn't really even frowned upon by most people at the time. It took massive propaganda efforts to demonize Nazi's which thankfully finally prevailed, but in the 1920s, 30's and even into the 40's the Nazi regime wasn't viewed at the brutal system it became. Most people at the time really didn't care what was happening to Jews and without the massive propaganda efforts they probably still wouldn't today. Being a genius at hindsight is a great job...if you can get it.
