The United States didn't technically 'stay out of the Holocaust' The States and the allies really didn't know what was going on in Europe. The Holocaust was very organized and kept under wraps until news of what was happening in Auschwitz, Treblinka etc.. broke out. No country really knew what was happening until they liberated the camps. Also, I believe that the US was busy with their own war: Japan. The atomic bomb, the attack on Pearl Harbour. The United States never entered the war until Pear Harbour was bombed. They always came in late in wars (WW1 and WW2). I believe some have said that is why their economy is so strong now. Not spending a lot of money compared to other countries on warfare because they weren't in the war as long as Britain or Canada for example.
The United States didn't do anything to help. We knew about it by 1942, but didn't do anything. The United States delayed telling their citizens about it and urged Great Britain officials not to as well . Jewish leaders pleaded with the U.S. to bomb the gas chambers and other key killing points, but the United States said that they couldn't bomb the chambers and railroads because their planes didn't have the precision to destroy them.
America didn't get involved with the holocaust because they really didn't know anything. They had no idea what was going on.

How can the stories of Holocaust survivors and those who eventually freed them help to stop another Holocaust from happening?
The problem is whether the perpetrators are willing to recognize another holocaust as it is forming and occurring. For example, many people point out that the 50 million abortions (just in the U.S.) qualifies as another holocaust. But the perceived benefit (casual sex without responsibility) is so seductive and addictive that the perpetrators would not seriously consider its status as a holocaust.

What does the Holocaust tell us about ourselves?
The holocaust says a couple things about ourselves today. Some people can act rash and harsh, and ruin the lives of others. This tells us that we will always have a few people out there who just cant stop doing the wrong things. But we cant let these few stop the rest of us. We can never forget the holocaust, so that we never make that mistake again. The world has come a long way since WWII. That has to show something about us. We learn from our mistakes and keep moving foreward.
