I&#x27;m being down-voted. I wonder why? Maybe most people prefer to believe some pleasant lie (that their own country was &quot;good&quot;, for example) rather than seeing some unpleasant truth? Or maybe I simply didn&#x27;t explain myself very well.<p>For example, in response to the Evian Conference in 1938, Hitler said: &quot;I can only hope and expect that the other world, which has such deep sympathy for these criminals [Jews], will at least be generous enough to convert this sympathy into practical aid. We, on our part, are ready to put all these criminals at the disposal of these countries, for all I care, even on luxury ships.&quot;<p>Back then, didn&#x27;t the British Empire control like 25% of this planet&#x27;s land mass? Surely, there must have been some space for Jews to settle? But no, they did not allow that. And the US was a big country back then, too, but they did not allow many Jews to immigrate, either.<p>Seems to me that Hitler was correct when he basically pointed out that the concern of the US, UK etc. for the Jews was basically just empty talk. Please don&#x27;t get me wrong here - the nazis were nasty, but the UK, US etc. back then were pretty bad, too. There have been plenty of apologies etc. from the German government over the years, but I wonder if the UK and US governments have ever apologized for their incredibly inconsiderate behavior towards the Jews back then?
