| Abstract | "Why did Allied leaders keep quiet about the Holocaust? Richard Breitman argues that Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin stayed mum because they feared appearing solicitous of Jews, lest entrenched antisemitism jeopardize support for the war effort. Ultimately, the goal of winning the fight was at odds with the demand to condemn anti-Jewish atrocities."-- Provided by publisher. |
