The statement that best describes the Allied nations' response to the Holocaust is "Allied nations considered it a “refugee situation” but later liberated the camps."

The Holocaust was the massive murder of almost 6 million European Jews by the Nazis during World War II. Nazi leader Adolph Hitler thought that Germans were the Supreme Race and the Jews were an inferior race that represented a threat to the purity of German's race and had to be exterminated. The Nazis built concentration camps to put Jews into forced labor and later were sent to the gas chambers.
