It's also worth pointing out that a lot of Nazi ideas about race and social organization came from America. Not all, but enough to make most modern Americans uncomfortable. America had a sizable Nazi party, and eugenics was a hugely popular movement before the Nazis really highlighted the severe downsides of that ideology.
America also turned away a lot of Jewish refugees for similar reasons. Most of the ended up victims of the Holocaust. It's only after the war that the "we had to fight this great, singular evil" emerged.
