Answer 6

The U.S responded mainly because of political reasons.. I mean, I took this, for WW2 but we came in late

Answer 7

Another impact on Jews after the holocaust is that they were displaced after concentration camps were taken down. Most Jews did not have a place to go, and ended up living their lives in a refugee camp.

Answer 8

Before the holocaust, when Hitler came into power, the US mostly left Germany to itself, as Hitler proclaimed that he had goals of fixing Germany. Also, at first the US as well as other big countries denied the horrific vents that were taking place in Germany at the time. It was not to be published in any newspapers, and was publicly denied. This was during the holocaust. After the holocaust, the US set up refugee camps for displaced Jews and other groups, and allowed a small portion into the US.

Answer 11

Well, women were working in factories and many other jobs, since a large portion of the men were at war. This is your social aspect. Political wise, people were encouraged to buy liberty bonds and other money-producing donations. These bonds were used to fund the war. All in all, all of America was mobilized for war, even those who did not go to war. Production was ramped up, farmers were encouraged to produce more, everyone worked in factories to produce goods for the war. Another political change is the government had to make sure wages didn't drop too low or prices didn't go too high because a lot of the population was at war.

Answer 12

Answer 13

Just adding to the answers here, but in regards to Hitler's mother, she didn't die in a concentration camp. She died of natural causes (breast cancer) and her death had a huge impact on Hitler's life because the two were so close. Millions of Jews (and other "unacceptable" people) died in the concentration camps due to the Nazi regime.

As for economic change, the US underwent rationing as certain "war materials" like rubber and aluminum were being collected in order to focus on war production. Luxury goods, even food items like butter and sugar, became more expensive. Luxury goods because more factories started working on war materials (fewer cars, more tanks and planes). Food because a lot of it was needed to feed troops overseas.
