Number of words: 1169 - Number of pages: 5.... Whether or not they chose to believe it however, is a
completely different story. The public were indeed outraged in many of
the cases but the governments of the major European democracies felt
that it was not for them to intervene for they felt that the Jewish
problem classified as an internal affair within a sovereign state. The
