some chose to just stay in germany and surrounding places because they thot that god would protect them
for some it worked and for some it didnt sadly

Like sheep going to the slaughter.

And when they heroically stand up for themselves today, people condemn them as being villains, because they developed some land that the people over their let deteriorate for thousands of years, because they were too busy hating the Jews and standing around masturbating.

They can't win.

Umm, most of them fled the country...the rest died. I suppose "dying" is a response? Hmm, maybe not...

Seems to me the were somewhat accepting of it. Thinking that if they didn't put up a fight, they would be okay. They were trusting of what they were told, not expecting to die.

The fight they put up was totally under the radar, through the escape routes they formed for getting out of the country. They risked their lives to help others escape.

Mostly by getting rounded up and killed. But some got killed before being rounded up.

They responded by doing what he wanted to do. They rounded up like animals and were put in box cars. If they didn't which some didn't, they were shot and killed.

The same way the American people responded to the Bush invasion and unnecessary Iraq War, bland, and with heightened ignorance; ultimately unable to see the impending consequences around the bend and over the hill. The German/Jewish difficulties progressed by degrees with insidious stealth, propaganda, and ignoble legislation: 1936"Reich Will Seize Jews Who Vote."

The Sturmabteilung, brown shirts, storm troopers, were founded and organized around 1920 with steady growth so that by the time Hitler came to power in 1933, Hitler's "muscle" was well established as a majority. In short, intimidation and/or disappearance. "Like sheep," someone made the statement.

America has wiggled its big toe twirling in the dirt and watched without conscience 90,000, Iraqi families, mainly women, children, old men, perish through the US invasion and continued presence.

As for the Jewish situation, it was known within Germany and the US, as in some other countries as well.

The US could have aborted 6,000,000 deaths of innocents by early involvement, intervention, and most seriously, comprehension.Germany was complacent as a people. Hitler saved Germany from the Depression, as did FDR in the US. So, then as now, the US populace, also, chose complacency, the "do nothing attitude."

The New York Times began printing articles on the German and Jewish situation in 1934. The developing problems were neither alien to those in Germany nor the US. There were phone calls made from Switzerland to the NY Times regarding the condition and situation at Dachau in 1943, which had been established ten years earlier in 1933, the first of its kind.

THE NEW YORK TIMES:
1934"All Jewish Merchants Jailed By Nazis in Annanberg, Saxony."
1934 "Nazi Banker Urges Ousting More Jews."
1935 "Nazis Renew Drive Against the Jews."
1935 "Jewish Concert Banned."
1935 "Reich Adopts Swastika As Nation's Official Flag;
Hitler's Reply to `Insult.'"
1935 "Nazis in New Drive on Jews in Trade."
1936"Reich Will Seize Jews Who Vote."
1937"Jewish Cafés Closed in Reich."
1937"Boycott of Jews Reviving in Reich."
1938 "Austrian Province Ousts 3,000 Jews."
1938 "Germany Tightens Boycott of Jews."
1938"Sudetens Halt Firemen As Jew's House Burns."
1938 "Nazis Smash, Loot And Burn Jewish Shops And Temples.
1939 "Bill to Shut Out Aliens Is Reported."
1940 "Germany Tightens Jews' Ration Curbs."

1941 "Jews of Hanover- Forced From Homes."

Certainly, the Pentagon and Washington government offices had readers!

they tried to escape but the ones who didn't make it, they... died

Anne Frank is an example of one answer, people went into hiding so that they would not be found and sent into the camps.
For a second response, there were Jewish soldiers who fought for the US and they became distraught over behaviour and determined to right the wrong. If you are old enough to watch Band of Brothers, there is mention of a Jewish soldier fighting for the Americans.
