FDR and the Holocaust: A Breach of Faith

FDR and the Holocaust: A Breach of Faith by Rafael Medoff. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780615763248.

President Franklin Roosevelt was admired as a humanitarian--yet he shut Americas doors to Jews fleeing the Holocaust. He called himself the champion of "the forgotten man," but when it came to the Jews under Hitlers jackboot, FDR turned away. Dr. Rafael Medoffs new book reveals starting new evidence about FDRs most shameful hour--his willingness to turn a blind eye to the systematic annihilation of six million European Jews. Medoffs groundbreaking research has uncovered documents revealing FDRs private opinions about Jews--shocking new evidence that pulls back the curtain on why he refused to admit refugees or bomb the railways leading to Auschwitz. This gripping historical account of the real story of President Roosevelts record on the Holocaust is a stunning expose of how FDR could have saved many innocent lives, yet chose not to.
