Enough of the evidence for the Jewish Holocaust was there. Unfortunatly a lot of folks in the US did not care.

What did get the front page headlines were events like the bombing of Warsaw, Rotterdam, Belgrade... the crowds of frightened refugees along the European roads caught the Americans attention. Amoung my wifes family heirlooms are letters from their cousins in Holland describing how painfull the German occupation had become, in less than year. Americans still attempting to do business in Europe were bring back more and more storys that were difficult to ignore. There was a growing awareness that this went far beyond some "...mistrreated Jews..." that the entire population of occupied Europe was losing their liberty, independance, property rights, employment, and their lives.

The isolationists were many & had some powerfull organizations but there were many anti Germans (including my father and grandfather) and pro British. The pro British had considerable organization and political leverage as well. This was not a one sided political fight.
