Actually it's pretty well documented that the UK government was anti-jew at the highest levels, and didn't get involved until it became obvious that Hitler's expansionism was going to be a threat. WW2 was about empire, saving the jews was just the added bonus. Jews have historically been widely despised because of the whole money lending thing. Both Churchill and especially Lloyd George wrote anti-semitic articles... Stalin was profoundly anti-jewish too.
