FDR and the Jews

Nearly seventy-five years after WWII, we’re still arguing about whether FDR turned his back on the Jews of Hitler’s Europe.

Defenders claim he saved millions by defeating Nazi Germany. Others revile him for keeping America’s gates closed to Jewish refugees and failing to bomb Auschwitz’s gas chambers. Allan J. Lichtman contends that the president was neither savior nor bystander, but a compassionate, pragmatic politician struggling with opposing priorities under perilous conditions.
