Books like The abandonment of the Jews by David S. Wyman


In The Abandonment of the Jews, historian David S. Wyman examines the United States’ role during the Holocaust. He contends that American politeness and inaction were not mere bystanders but, in effect, passive accomplices to the Nazi regime’s murder of Jews. Wyman discusses how a more vigorous commitment to rescuing Jewish refugees—through policy, public pressure, and the War Refugee Board—might have saved hundreds of thousands. His analysis draws on archival documents, contemporary accounts, and the broader context of World War II to illuminate the moral responsibilities of the United States during 1939–1945.
