Who should be held most accountable for the Shoah and the death of 6 million Jews?
They - the US and UK governments - are partly responsible for the travesty and tragedy of the Holocaust. The United States and Britain could easily have stopped the Holocaust. There would well have not been a Holocaust if the U.S. and the U.K. wanted to stop it. Full stop!
The Jews would have been able to go to the Land of Israel – sure economically it would have been hard for millions of Jews to get in there, under those tough conditions, at that time, but it would have been a lot better than Auschwitz!
All the Jews could have gone to Israel, and the Nazis would have let them, as they, at the beginning, wanted them out of the way. The Nazis would have just expelled them and were even willing to assist them to get there. The Nazis were willing to help them travel there. Dr. William Pearl, zt”l, an attorney, who was one of the leaders of the Aliyah Bet plan, of the Second Aliyah and Irgun Tzvai Leumi, met with Adolf Eichman, yemach shemoh vizchroh, and Eichman said that he would fund the transport to get the Jews out of Europe, “we will get all the Jews out of Europe”, he said and “we will fund it – you can have all the Jews”.
All the Jews could have been saved, but the United States and Britain deliberately closed the doors to them, kept them trapped there, so they would all be murdered and then refused to bomb the rail lines and the roads leading to the death camps, deliberately, to make sure that they would all be murdered. They, the U.S. and U.K. could not have done more to make sure the Holocaust would happen. So the U.S. and Britain are certainly most responsible for what happened.
What did the influential Jewish establishment and powerful Jewish elites outside of Europe do? Mostly nothing! They are 100% guilty for not doing anything to rescue and save Jewish lives and help their people during this terrible tragedy. They did nothing, while 6 million Jews were being murdered, except for a handful of right-wing, righteous Jews like Ben Hecht, Peter Bergson (Hillel Kook) and the Jabotinsky supporters who did make an effort. The other Jews did nothing; they only undermined Ben and Peter’s heroic efforts and sabotaged the rescue and possibly saving of masses of Jews, who were later massacred. The six million martyrs! That’s a fact of life!
