Actually, the extermination policies that we call the Holocaust did not begin until the opening of the Eastern Front, well into the war, with the detailing of SS Einsatzgruppen to make the round of captured towns, take the Jewish inhabitants outside of town, make them dig a large pit, force them to disrobe, and then shoot them in the back of the head. The fear of insurrection led to the use of concentration camps, while the use of ammunition was deemed too expensive, which led to experimentation with carbon monoxide, and eventually the use of Zyklon-B. The main program of extermination did not begin until '43. Even the Kristallnacht, which involved the worst incidents of violence against Jews prior to the Holocaust, did not occur until '38, just before the War began in '39. There were numerous diplomatic protests of that, and of Japanese atrocities, things did not roll merrily along. Anyway, the problem with a more vigorous response against the Axis was a disillusionment that had set in at the end of the First World War. Chamberlain pretty much knew that they were going to have to fight after the annexation of Czechoslovakia, but it was necessary to prepare the Armed Forces, so he waited until Poland.
