What Did the West Know about the "Final Solution"?

Excellent and thought provoking video. Thanks.

My grandfather (a grandson of Holocaust survivors) said they knew full well. He is an Israeli American, living in the Chicago area. My mother married a Texas baptist rancher/farmer and that’s where I live now. The anti-Semitism is rather high in my area. Thought provoking video though.

Thank you.

"Jan Karski also traveled to the United States, where on 28 July 1943 he met with President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the Oval Office, the first eyewitness to tell Roosevelt of the situation in Poland and the Jewish Holocaust. Roosevelt asked no questions about the Jews"

As a Christian, I can only apologise for the atrocities faced by the Jewish Community throughout Western Europe. The news about the persecution in Poland (and before in Germany {Night of Broken Glass}) was widely available and verifiable. Whether or not a military response would have or could have been expedited remains unclear. What is crystal clear to anybody from Western Europe is that the Jews were descriminated against prior to WW2 and more importantly after WW2 by the majority of politicians who were afraid of or perhaps loyal to their own religions. The role of Rome who managed the rat run of NAZIs to South America has never resulted in an outright apology. Please accept mine...

Starting in 1940 Jan Karski reported to the Polish, British, and US governments on the situation in Poland, especially on the destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto and the Nazi extermination of Polish Jews. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Karski

From Pabianice to Warsaw is 157 km.

And what would have been done differently had this knowledge been taken seriously? Would the war have been waged differently? Was there anything the West could have done differently to avert or at least lessen this atrocity, aside from accepting (rather than turning away) Jewish refugees?

The video highligts a number of important points, not least the need to control information. In Britain Oswald Mosley's blackshirts had support and it could be argued that the greater good, in the sense of a postive outcome for the war against Gremany, meant hiughligting the threat against everyone and not just one smaller demographic. It was not necessarily closeted antisemtism that drove the suppresion of the atrocities, possible quite the opposite in fact. That being said, nothing prepared Allied forces for the full extent of what took place, at home or abroad..

I've read that there was graffitti in the London Underground and probably other places too that read- "This is a Jew war."

Ignorance is bliss.

Expreso mi solidaridad con el Pueblo de Israel a raíz de los ataques del grupo terrorista Hamas.

Everybody knew but it was expedient to look away

Religion and hatred so often are seen side by side! Uhmm?

Israelis doing almost the sqme to Palestinians but way slower.

Jan Karski and Wiltold Pileczki both sent reports from the Polish Underground to the west. Very famous reports.
