Were Americans the heroic liberators of Nazi concentration camp victims in 1945, or were they knowing and apathetic bystanders to unspeakable brutality and annihilation for a dozen years? Historians have long debated what the United States knew about Hitler’s gruesome Final Solution, when they knew it, and whether they should have intervened sooner. Wrapping historical narrative around 60 primary sources — including news clippings, speeches, letters, magazine articles, and government reports — Abzug chronicles the unfolding events in Nazi Germany while tracing the resurgence of anti-Semitism and tightening immigration policies in the United States. He relies on the American journalistic sources through which U.S. citizens read about events in Europe to provide students a real context to understand Americans’ horror when they realized that the reports of the Holocaust were not exaggerations or fabrications. An epilogue examines the complexity of historical interpretations and moral judgments that have evolved since 1945. Useful apparatus includes photographs, a chronology, questions for consideration, a bibliography, and an index.

Robert H. Abzug has taught at the University of Texas at Austin since 1978, and is currently Audre and Bernard Rapoport Regents Chair of Jewish Studies and Professor of History and American Studies. He is the founding Director of the University's Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies (2007-). He also held the Eric Voegelin Visiting Professorship at the University of Munich in 1990-91.

All of Abzug's work centers on the evolution of moral and ethical sensibilities in American society. Two of his books deal with religion and pre-Civil War reform, two others on America and the Holocaust, and two address the intertwined histories of American spiritual life and psychology: A biography of the psychologist Rollo May to be published by Oxford University Press and a recently published abridged edition of William James's The Varieties of Religious Experience for Bedford/​St. Martin's.

This is a great book. We used it in conjunction with a history textbook in my college World War II class. Reading about the Holocaust in a textbook does not give you the whole story. This book is full of accounts written at the time the Holocaust was happening. I was both fascinated and extremely horrified while reading this book, and I feel like I learned a great deal from it. I would highly recommend this book. I would caution that it is quite graphic and not for younger readers. Also, some knowledge of the background of the Holocaust is helpful before reading this book. This is more a collection of accounts and doesn't give much of a broad overview of the events leading up to or surrounding the Holocaust, namely World War II.

INformed people owe it to themselves to understand the denial and diversity of opinion and apathy that characterized the response to the Holocaust by the American press, its citizens and its leaders, political and religious.
