>I don't think Germany's singular goal of racial domination - and specifically extermination of world Jewry - is comparable to most wars.

That wasn't the reason for the war. Nor were there any country actually try to help the jews before or during the war.

It's also not different from thoughts at the time held throughout the western world. Britain specifically didn't help the jews during ww2 because they thought they would flood Palestine (a british colony) after the war. A famous quote in Canada before ww2 was that "We'd take as many as we can, but none was too much." America as well famously turned away boat loads of jews.
