What could the West have done beyond doing what they were already doing - fighting a war with Germany?

Blown up rail lines leading to the camps? Would the Germans have said “oh, well let them go then.” No, they would have found other ways to murder them.

It’s not that different than China. You want to stop the genocide? Well, prepare for a major war with millions of deaths on both sides.

You seem to misunderstand my comment. My point was that the West only fought a war with Germany because they invaded Poland and other neighboring countries. Had the Nazis not done that, the West would most likely not have fought them, even if the concentration camps had come to light.

Ahhh...I misinterpreted your post. That’s a fair point.
