Book Synopsis While Six Million Died by : Arthur D. Morse
Download or read book While Six Million Died written by Arthur D. Morse and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American government, which had had records of successful intervention on behalf of persecuted Jews in Morocco, Russia, and Romania, as well as on behalf of Armenians in Turkey, failed to act during the Nazi era to save Jews or alleviate their plight. It refused to change the immigration restrictions for refugees from Germany, nor did it protest against the Nazi anti-Jewish policies, not even against the deportation of German Jews in 1940-41. It failed to do anything to prevent the murder of six million Jews, even after it received reliable information on Nazi mass murders of Jews. The passive stance of the U.S. government was seconded by the anti-refugee sentiments of many lower rank officials and of the American populace. The reluctance of the U.S. government to act on behalf of the Jews of Europe was noted by the Nazis and used in their propaganda. Dwells on the successful activities of the War Refugee Board, established in 1944. Paradoxically, the WRB activities, as well as other rescue initiatives, were sometimes obstructed by U.S. diplomats abroad. Concludes that the WRB represented a small gesture of atonement by a nation which, during 1933-44, showed apathy toward the victims. Contrasts the inaction of the United States with the active stance of one man - Raoul Wallenberg - who actually rescued thousands of Hungarian Jews.
Book Synopsis While Six Million Died; a Chronicle of American Apathy by : Arthur D. Morse
Download or read book While Six Million Died; a Chronicle of American Apathy written by Arthur D. Morse and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 1944 President Roosevelt was shown the startling conclusions of a secret memorandum. Its title: Acquiescence of this Government in the Murder of the Jews. The untold and shocking story behind this report--never before described in full-- exposes the appalling apathy and callousness of our Government, particularly the State Department, in the face of Nazi genocide. This report finally forced the President to take the first steps to rescue the Jews--but why had it taken so long to act? This book details, through documents, official papers and interviews with participants and research in archives in key world cities the true narrative of what was known, and the unconscionable delay of active response to the Nazi declaration that they "intended to destroy every Jew in Europe." How this challenge was met is the subject of this book. If genocide is to be prevented in the future, we must understand how it happened, not only in terms of the killers, but of the bystanders.

Book Synopsis The Myth of Rescue by : W.D. Rubinstein
Download or read book The Myth of Rescue written by W.D. Rubinstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-22 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been argued that the Allies did little or nothing to rescue Europe's Jews. Arguing that this has been consistently misinterpreted, The Myth of Rescue states that few Jews who perished could have been saved by any action of the Allies. In his new introduction to the paperback edition, Willliam Rubinstein responds to the controversy caused by his challenging views, and considers further the question of bombing Auschwitz, which remains perhaps the most widely discussed alleged lost opportunity for saving Jews available to the Allies.
Book Synopsis The Cunning of History by : Richard L. Rubenstein
Download or read book The Cunning of History written by Richard L. Rubenstein and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theologian Richard L. Rubenstein writes of the Holocaust, why it happened, why it happened when it did, and why it may happen again and again. "Few books possess the power to leave the reader with the feeling of awareness that we call a sense of revelation. The Cunning of History seems to me to be one of these . . . Rubenstein is forcing us to reinterpret the meaning of Auschwitz—especially, though not exclusively, from the standpoint of its existence as part of a continuum of slavery that has been engrafted for centuries onto the very body of Western civilization. Therefore, in the process of destroying the myth and the preconception, he is making us see that that encampment of death and suffering may have been more horrible than we had ever imagined. It was slavery in its ultimate embodiment. He is making us understand that the etiology of Auschwitz—to some, a diabolical, perhaps freakish excrescence, which vanished from the face of the earth with the destruction of the crematoria in 1945—is actually embedded deeply in a cultural tradition that stretches back to the Middle Passage from the coast of Africa, and beyond, to the enforced servitude in ancient Greece and Rome. Rubenstein is saying that we ignore this linkage, and the existence of the sleeping virus in the bloodstream of civilization, at risk of our future." — William Styron, from the Introduction.

Book Synopsis A Surplus of Memory by : Yitzhak ("Antek") Zuckerman
Download or read book A Surplus of Memory written by Yitzhak ("Antek") Zuckerman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 669 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1943, against utterly hopeless odds, the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto rose up to defy the Nazi horror machine that had set out to exterminate them. One of the leaders of the Jewish Fighting Organization, which led the uprisings, was Yitzhak Zuckerman, known by his underground pseudonym, Antek. Decades later, living in Israel, Antek dictated his memoirs. The Hebrew publication of Those Seven Years: 1939-1946 was a major event in the historiography of the Holocaust, and now Antek's memoirs are available in English. Unlike Holocaust books that focus on the annihilation of European Jews, Antek's account is of the daily struggle to maintain human dignity under the most dreadful conditions. His passionate, involved testimony, which combines detail, authenticity, and gripping immediacy, has unique historical importance. The memoirs situate the ghetto and the resistance in the social and political context that preceded them, when prewar Zionist and Socialist youth movements were gradually forged into what became the first significant armed resistance against the Nazis in all of occupied Europe. Antek also describes the activities of the resistance after the destruction of the ghetto, when 20,000 Jews hid in "Aryan" Warsaw and then participated in illegal immigration to Palestine after the war. The only extensive document by any Jewish resistance leader in Europe, Antek's book is central to understanding ghetto life and underground activities, Jewish resistance under the Nazis, and Polish-Jewish relations during and after the war. This extraordinary work is a fitting monument to the heroism of a people.

Download or read book Political Fictions written by Joan Didion and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2002-08-27 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In these coolly observant essays, the iconic bestselling writer looks at the American political process and at "that handful of insiders who invent, year in and year out, the narrative of public life." Through the deconstruction of the sound bites and photo ops of three presidential campaigns, one presidential impeachment, and an unforgettable sex scandal, Didion reveals the mechanics of American politics. She tells us the uncomfortable truth about the way we vote, the candidates we vote for, and the people who tell us to vote for them. These pieces build, one on the other, into a disturbing portrait of the American political landscape, providing essential reading on our democracy.

Download or read book Rescue Board written by Rebecca Erbelding and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD For more than a decade, a harsh Congressional immigration policy kept most Jewish refugees out of America, even as Hitler and the Nazis closed in. In 1944, the United States finally acted. That year, Franklin D. Roosevelt created the War Refugee Board, and put a young Treasury lawyer named John Pehle in charge. Over the next twenty months, Pehle pulled together a team of D.C. pencil pushers, international relief workers, smugglers, diplomats, millionaires, and rabble-rousers to run operations across four continents and a dozen countries. Together, they tricked the Nazis, forged identity papers, maneuvered food and medicine into concentration camps, recruited spies, leaked news stories, laundered money, negotiated ransoms, and funneled millions of dollars into Europe. They bought weapons for the French Resistance and sliced red tape to allow Jewish refugees to escape to Palestine. In this remarkable work of historical reclamation, Holocaust historian Rebecca Erbelding pieces together years of research and newly uncovered archival materials to tell the dramatic story of America’s little-known efforts to save the Jews of Europe.
