Could more have been done to save Hungary's 1-million Jews from being murdered by the Nazis in World War II? The situation was complicated by the Allies' self-interest and indifference: Britain placed strict limits on Jewish immigration into Palestine,and the US also imposed harsh barriers against the admission of Jewish refugees.
