Comment on The people who protest against the Palestinian Genocide would be the same people who protested against the Holocaust.

    That's against Nazis. Not a lot of people knew about the Holocaust outside of Germany.

    I found this one, which happened in Berlin and led to the release of 1800 Jewish people (!).

    University never apologised. Turns out universities always sided with fascism, that’s not a new thing

  Resistance networks who hid and smuggled targets out of reach at the very least.

    A form of protest, perhaps, but probably not what OP was thinking of.

      Yes and that started before the outbreak of war. For example.

      Seems mostly driven by religious, Jewish and Quaker groups who I'm sure organised demonstrations and petitioned governments and so on.

      They might not have known the full details, or how it escalated and spread into occupied territory after the war started, but most of europe's political leaders knew for sure something pretty awful was causing tens of thousands of refugees. I think krystallnacht was public knowledge and made it pretty much impossible to ignore.

      I think most of these countries could have done more a lot sooner. Accepting the child refugees was pretty much a bare minimum that they just couldn't refuse.

      But even FDR didn't get this bill through in the US, which seems pretty crazy in retrospect:
