If they read and believed the bible, they would have known they were not going thru the Tribulation...They did however go thru tribulations and perilous times...

Somewhere along about Isaiah 8, I think it speaks of this, although it is a little cloudy. They were apparently part of the 10 tribes that were granted temporary sanctuary in other countries after they fled Israel. God has a long memory.

Most weren't aware of the full extent of the Holocaust until after the war.

...From the beginning of Hitler’s regime, the ecumenical Christian movement (its central offices were located in Geneva, London and New York) strongly condemned developments in Nazi Germany that threatened the independence of Christian Churches and the safety of Jews...

...In a 1983 speech delivered at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Gerhardt Riegner, the director of the World Jewish Congress in Geneva during the war (and a man who had participated in efforts to rescue Jews from the Nazis), said that, during the Holocaust, “the human understanding, friendship, and the helping hand” of his Protestant ecumenical colleagues “were the only signs of light in the darkness that surrounded us.”

These aspects of the Christian Churches’ opposition to the Third Reich did not, of course, impede the workings of the Holocaust, or even lead to the rescue of significant numbers of endangered Jews...
