Heroes, Antiheroes, and the Holocaust: American Jewry and Historical Choice » (2ND)

Was the American Jewish community powerless to intervene in the 1930's and 40's when catastrophe befell the Jews of Europe? What did our leaders know and when did they know it? In this ground-breaking work, Dr. David Morrison sheds much-needed light on these and many other questions. Rich with profound insights of petty personality clashes and uplifting heroic actions, this important book brings to light people you never knew and figures you thought you did.
