Every nation in WWII was antisemitic to various degrees. It’s funny how it’s sometimes presented as the Allies going to war to prevent the slaughter of the Jews.

That had almost nothing to do with it. Almost nothing at all. WWII was not a war being fought to stop a genocide.

In fact, most nations were completely ignorant of the genocide until it was largely over. The information that leaked out of Poland and the Soviet bloc in 1942 and 1943 was largely nonexistent, and so horrifying that few people even took it seriously.
