Assessing Responsibility worksheet/US Immigration Worksheet

After watching the movie Defiance and then seeing what the US response to the Holocaust was at the time, I think the proper response of a worker in a plant making Zyklon B gas should have been that he quits the job and finds another job. This is so that he is in no way harming/killing the Jews; therefore he doesn't have a guilty conscience. 


The proper response of the U.S. to the Holocaust as it was occurring should have been: First, immediately publicizing the issue instead of the delay that actually happened. Second, instead of restricting immigration by ordering U.S. consuls to delay visa approvals on national security grounds, the U.S. should have made it easy for Jews to come to the U.S. to survive. Last but not least, instead of the lack of effort the U.S. had in rescuing the Jews, the U.S. should have tried to save Jews from the Holocaust.


My views on how the international community should respond to genocide when it is happens today, which is currently happening Syria, is that it should do the mistake the U.N. & the U.S. made with Bosnia and the Holocaust, which was being too late. The international community did already take its first step which is publicizing what is happening right now in Syria, but there is military action needed, not just reports.
