European nations were unprepared for the exact same reason why Jews didn't leave Germany en masse in 1933: they couldn't or wouldn't believe that things would turn so bad so fast. If that makes you angry, maybe you could find some living members of that generation and slap them around a bit, eh? Show them they weren't punished enough for their gullibility.
