But the information gap, though extremely important, was not the only limiting factor. <br /><br />Strong currents of anti-Semitism and nativism in American society also diminished the possibilities for a sympathetic response. A quieter, more prevalent prejudice, a “passive anti-Semitism,” was another major barrier to the growth of concern. <br /><br />It was reflected in opinion surveys taken by the [USA] Office of War Information.
