To smerel, re his/her New York Times comment: The Sulzberger family is not Jewish today, and I am not sure whether they were Jewish in the 1940’s. (Actually, once a Jew, always a Jew; conversion does not change one’s soul.)
And there were radically more newspapers in the US in the 1940’s, many of them prestigious, and none of them printed more news about the Holocaust than the New York Times. Even as late as 1944, there were rabbis in Europe who did not encourage emigration from Europe because they did not understand the scope of Germany’s plans for extermination of the Jews of Europe. Roosevelt could/should have done better by the Jews, but the blame is his alone.
