The Three Websites That I Used For My Research Are:
Holocaust History Project
To begin with, this website is credible because it contains the ".org" extension. Also, it includes a list of books/references where you can read more about the topic that was discussed in the paragraphs.
Holocaust Encyclopedia
This website is credible because it contains the ".org". Also, it gives credit as to where the photograph on the page comes from. The website is also considered credible because all of the links work, and it also gives the contact information for the US Holocaust War Museum at the bottom of the page.
Common Questions about the Holocaust
To begin with, this website is a ".org", and the website contains a vast amount of information about the Holocaust. It is the official website for the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
What I Learned!
During the Holocaust, the US made no effort to stop the Holocaust or attempt to save the victims(Website #1). The US even did horrible things like resist the admission of the Jews who had escaped from Europe, and denying the idea to bomb the railroad that took Jews to the concentration camps(Website #1). The absence of effort on the US' part was because of the Antisemitism that was en vogue at the time. Some people believed that there was nothing they could do besides defeat Nazi Germany, hoping that would stop it all (Website #1).
Website #2 contains a photo and a short description. The photo on this website is actually the one on this page up above to the right. It seems as if Jewish war veterans in the US were protesting against buying German goods. They obviously didn't want to support Germany in any way, so they tried to use propaganda to persuade people to stop purchasing Germany's goods. According to other information however, the United States failed to make any strong efforts to stop the Holocaust.
Website #3 suggests the same type of things as website #1. Antisemitism was popular, and people didn't like the idea of Jews immigrating there. US State Department Policies made it extremely difficult for refugees to obtain entry visas(Website #3). Their behavior was influenced by their "xenophobia", or the fear of foreigners in their country. However, despite the many obstacles that the US had presented, about 200,000 Jews found safety in the United States before the end of 1941(Website #3).
