Yes I know Roosevelt refused entry of thousands of European Jews. However in the 1930’s there was no Auschwitz as yet and your premise is a false one. America wasn’t shoving Jews into gas chambers. We shut them down.

Refusing the boats, and Canada did it as well so we’re equally culpable for we did do, set them up to be sent into the gas chambers.

There’s no question that the US government knew, but kept it from the US population as to the conditions that Jews were facing, including pogroms.

It’s a regrettable time in history. Nothing wrong with saying so.

It doesn’t mean you’re evil today.

“Authenticated information that the Nazis were systematically exterminating European Jewry was made public in the United States in November 1942. President Roosevelt did nothing about the mass murder for fourteen months, then moved only because he was confronted with political pressures he could not avoid and because his administration stood on the brink of a nasty scandal over its rescue policies. . . . Franklin Roosevelt’s indifference to so momentous a historical event as the systematic annihilation of European Jewry emerges as the worst failure of his presidency.”

P.S. It wasn't "we" but the Russians who liberated Auschwitz and Treblinka.
