Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. $14.99 The ongoing debate among descendants of immigrants on how best to keep new immigrants and illegal aliens out of the country is nothing new. Anti-immigration laws and sentiment were all the rage during the late thirties and especially during WWII. Guided by the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American Coalition of Patriotic Societies, Senators and Congressmen watched diligently for any hint that those funny little furriners might sneak in. Senator Rufus Holman (Rep., OR) in 1942 once blocked a bill in the Senate because it aroused his suspicion that "it relaxes the immigration laws," though he openly admitted, "I know nothing about this bill." Representative William Elmer (Rep., MO)--no doubt a descendant of the famous American patriot, Elmer Fudd, --was equally distrustful. He apprised the House of "a determined and well financed movement...to admit all the oppressed, Hitler-persecuted people of Germany and other European countries into our country." Il volume, in lingua inglese, si muove lungo tre fasi: inizia con gli sviluppi che portano alla realizzazione da parte degli alleati che un sistematico annientamento degli ebrei era in atto. Prefigurato soltanto idealmente durante il 1942, questa notizia fu stabilita pubblicamente nel Novembre di quell'anno. La seconda fase riguarda la conseguente battaglia degli ebrei e non, contro un ostruttivo Dipartimento di Stato, una stampa inadeguata che culminerà nel gennaio 1944 con la creazione da parte di Roosevelt della commissione per i rifugiati di guerra. L'ultima analizza l'azione del WRB.

In his landmark work, author David S. Wyman contends that a substantial commitment to rescue Jewish people on the part of the United States almost certainly could have saved several hundred thousands of the Nazis' victims. This reissued edition contains a new Afterword by Wyman addressing the controversy his work has aroused. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
