Abandonment_Of_The_Jews

Abandonment Of The Jews The Abandonment of the Jews By David S. Wyman “To kill the Jews, the Nazis were willing to weaken their capacity to fight the war. The United States and its allies, however, were willing to attempt almost nothing to save them” (Pp 5). If we would have put half as much energy into loving the Jews as Hitler spent hating the Jews we could have made a great difference. Wyman’s book, The Abandonment of the Jews was very intriguing to me. Although I found it very thorough it left me wanting to know how something this horrible could have been allowed to happen. Although Wyman does discuss why more was not done, I am still horrified that this was allowed to happen. Wyman proves that the US should and could have done more to help the dying Jews. I found a reoccurring theme to be that a large problem was that Jewish people had nowhere to go. No one wanted them. The book begins by giving a brief background into the setting of America at the onset of the war. It details an anti-Semitic America. It also explains most of the anti-Semitism as passive, which ordinarily would do jews, war, state, very, help, department, been, little, jewish, done, action, wyman, first, committee, possible, conference, 1942, save, rescue, refugees, people, book, after, way, time, small, restrictions, reports, report, public, one, made, gas, found, chambers
