which is what the allies did. ]]> 2017-04-21 15:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513056 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513060 I personally believe that the allies did nothing wrong for not attempting to shut down the concentration camps. Although they had aerial shots of the camps and train tracks, what could they have done? Bomb the tracks? It will be built again in a week. Bomb the gas chambers? It will be built again in a month. ]]> 2017-04-21 15:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513060 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513077 They bombed a thing next to a camp: a few miles away. Why not just bomb the camp? It would be easy, and would not really require huge amounts of resources to perform.

It is similar to seeing a man getting tortured on the streets by someone else and thinking "nah, calling 911 would be too much work." 

At that point Germany wasn't doing so well in the war anyway; so it wouldn't jeopardize the Allies' plans things and etcs. By 1943 the Germans were already kill.

Even if the Allies did get a bit of kill Soviet Russia was still on the path towards shanking Germany.

I personally believe that the most efficient way to shut down the concentration camps was to win the war. If the allies were to act recklessly, the war could have lasted for a longer period of time, and the outcome of the war could have been changed. I believe that the allies took the course of action that they thought would shut down the concentration camps without unnecessary losses. ]]> 2017-04-21 15:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513097 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513118 By not shutting down these camps, the allies were, in some way, endorsing the genocide of the Jewish people.]]> 2017-04-21 15:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513118 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513162 While everyone was condemning Hitler for what he did at the time, no one actually wanted to accept the fleeing Jews. The Allies were rightfully more concerned with the war than the Holocaust.]]> 2017-04-21 15:15:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513162 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513185 The allies had the means to help those who were affected by the holocaust. There were multiple pleas for help, yet the allies chose to ignore them.]]> 2017-04-21 15:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513185 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513218 I believe the Allies did try to stop the concentration camps. The best way to do that is to win the war, and they focused their efforts on winning the war. Any attempt to liberate the camps would be counterproductive. For example, bombing the camps would kill those inside. There is no way to liberate the camps without winning the war.

This lack of resources and the African campaign, as well as not having any foothold on mainland Europe, lead to the allies being powerless to stop the holocaust]]> 2017-04-21 15:15:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513226 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513236 Although it is true that millions of people died in these concentration camps, many people died during World War 2 as well. The Nazis were very powerful during this time, and it would have been nearly impossible to rescue people from all camps. As well, it would have resulted in an extremely high death toll for the Allies. We could not have prevented the death camps from existing, however, the most the Allies could have done was to try to stop the war, which they did. ]]> 2017-04-21 15:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513236 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513247 Attacking the concentration camps would use resources and military power for no tactical advantage. The allies' priorities at the time were to defeat Nazi Germany. The faster the allies won the war, the less lives lost. Defeat would have meant the loss of many more Jewish lives.]]> 2017-04-21 15:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513247 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513265 2017-04-21 15:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513265 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513293 Being based in the territories controlled by the Nazis, the camps would be difficult to get to and control. Attempting to shut down the camps would simply result in more casualties on both sides, including the deaths of those interned in the camps. It is unlikely that a successful assault would have been accomplished by the Allies.]]> 2017-04-21 15:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513293 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513322 2017-04-21 15:16:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513322 https://padlet.com/bismah_a_wahab/hx56ok2xuxk1/wish/167513326 They were capable of bombing the camps, yet they did nothing to stop it.
