You´ve changed the argument here.

However, some European countries e.g. Denmark did a lot more than the US did for the Jews during the war.
How? The United States smashed Nazi Germany and liberated the survivors of the concentration camps.

The US was as reluctant as anyone to allow wholesale immigration of German Jews. There was very little direct help for the Jews from the US during the war.

As an aside, if anyone "smashed" the Nazis it was the Russians. Some concentration camps were liberated by the Russians, some by the US and some by the British. Your history sounds a touch selective to me.

You still haven't informed us how some European countries e.g. Denmark did a lot more than the U.S. did for the Jews during the war.

Whilst under occupation of a far superior military force, what remained of the Danish government stalled the Germans whilst under threat giving time for the Danish people to secretly smuggle the Danish Jews out to Sweden at great risk to themselves. The majority of Danish Jews survived the war despite Denmark being an occupied country.

Hungary tried something similar with less actual success, possibly because Hitler was getting more desperate by the time it was Hungary´s turn.

Even the French tried fairly hard to protect their Jews, eventually giving in to trying to save only Jews of French nationality.

What would you do to save US Muslims who found themselves under similar threat in your own country?

EDIT: Many people in the concentration camps were ordinary non-Jewish citizens of the various occupied countries who had tried to hide or otherwise save the Jews. America didn´t do much to allow the immigration of European Jews and didn´t really want them.

On a side note, wasn't it the romanians who fought along side with Hitler during the invasion of Russia? Nevermind, i think that was someone else.

hehe i wish you to be reincarnated into a country with 20 million people(romania had less in WWII). i wish that country to be placed between two super powers arming themselves for war. i wish your country enough oil so that the power from the west would want it. i wish the power from the east to forcibly annex a large slice of your already puny territory. i wish the power from the west to take another slice of your territory and give it to someone else. and then i wish you to choose which slice you want it back first.

granny, i know you are a retarded buffoon. but if you are not too busy, try and see the circumstances that caused us to fight with hitler instead of stalin(a wonderful choice, choose between satan or his cousin).

Bulgaria also resisted the deportation, and managed not to deport any Jewish people with Bulgarian nationality.

Italy deported very few Jews too. And they were Hitler's allies.

I think Italy was in a better position to resist such Nazi Germany's demands than an occupied country or a country forced into alliance by military threat.

Why would they deport Jews? They just shot them on site and let the dogs eat them.
