Besides, the Jews made a good propaganda tool during the war by making the Germans the most evil enemy of all time.


The US and Brits didn't use the news for propaganda during the war, they buried it. You can hardly find a mention of it. They didn't want to know, and they certainly didn't want to be asked to do anything to stop it. Those who did know couldn't even get bombers diverted to bomb the railways into the camps.

It became big news at the end of the war, after the Brits liberated Belsen and brought in newsreel cameras. The Brits had heard that something bad was going on. But the soldiers who entered the camp had not expected to encounter a pile of 30,000 rotting corpses.

It's very easy to mistakenly project the attitudes of one period back onto another. It leads to erroneous conclusions, however.
