Interestingly, many of the Jews and persecuted peoples stayed put even after the war began. The Holocaust was separate from the war, though certainly a by-product or offshoot of it, if you will. Knowing the world is going to be at war and knowing that a genocide is going to occur are two distinct things. Predicting genocide is a slice more difficult.
