Question

A.) If we act quickly we can still help them.

B.) No one is interested in helping them.

 

C.) It is too late to help them.

D.) Other countries are taking care of them.

Answer 1

Probably B)

Even Franklin Roosevelt denied the Holocaust as he told American Jews it was just war time propaganda.

Nazi kurt Gerstein tried to warn the western world countries, but no one believed him.

Even Holocaust survivor Primo Levi, when caught, told the Nazis he was Jewish because he thought he would be treated better than if they knew he was in the Resistance. Jews didn't really believe it was happening. Nobel Laureate Elie Weisel has a rabbi trying to warn Jews, but no one seems to believe him.
