Description
Documents how Roosevelt's private attitude towards Jews motivated him to close America's doors to Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, opposed the bombing of the extermination camps and remained ambivalent towards Zionism. Medoff adroitly exposes how FDR suppressed Jewish immigration with the unwitting assistance of Rabbi Stephen Wise.
