One of the biggest debates that occurred after Roosevelt's death and camps like Auschwitz came to light (and the fact that the administration knew about them) was why did they not try to stop it. Michael Beschloss address it in his book The Conquerors : http://www.amazon.com/Conquerors-Roosevelt-Destruction-Hitlers-1941-1945/dp/0684810271 a lot of the information Roosevelt was getting was from the Catholic Church and they agonized over how to stop it. What Morgenthau and Roosevelt finally realized was that the best way to stop it was to win the war.

One of the deciding factors was that the Reich had already gone to the Church and offered to "trade Jews" for verbal support from the church. Something that Pope Pius XII wept over when the "Jew laws" were being passed in Italy. The fear was that Hitler would offer to "trade Jews" for land, peace, a cease fire, etc., something that the Allies could never accept. They were also afraid that if they bombed the camps that Hitler would either use it as propaganda that the "Allies killed the Jews" or realize that we knew what he was doing and would speed up the executions.

I'm sure the debate over whether or not we could have done more to stop the Holocaust can go on forever but personally I believe that Roosevelt was right, the best way to stop it was to win the war.

It's a great book and it talks about the attacks on the Catholic church by Hitler including all of the monks that were murdered after the Church denounced Nazism.
