Defeating japan didn't have anything to do with saving jewish people. Japan was doing it's own dirt, and though we didn't bomb them to save the people they'd been shitting on - it was a happy consequence.
The decision to drop the bomb was the subject of immediate mythmaking at the time - but it probably boiled down to a single calculation. Would the american people accept a president who did not use a weapon he had against a reviled enemy on account of principled reservations that this enemy (and the american public) did not share.
