Book Description
A contentious debate lingers over whether Franklin Delano Roosevelt turned his back on the Jews of Hitler s Europe. FDR and the Jews reveals a concerned leader whose efforts on behalf of Jews were far greater than those of any other world figure but whose moral leadership was tempered by the political realities of depression and war.
