“In February of 1942, President Roosevelt signed the most damning of Executive Orders: number 9066, the internment of the Japanese.”

“Other than Henry Morgenthau, the Jewish advisers around Roosevelt did not press for rescue. This makes for a bitter legacy. President Roosevelt appointed more Jews to his Administration than any other President, prior or subsequent, and yet those men did not use their faith to agitate for the Jews in Europe. It’s ironic and devastating.”

“The media kept Holocaust stories off the front pages. The New York Times, for instance, from the years 1939 through 1945, printed 1,186 Holocaust stories, or an average of 17 stories per month.11 And yet only 26 stories mentioning the “discrimination, deportation, and destruction” of the Jews made the front pages. And of those stories, only six identified Jews as the primary victims. Six stories in six years. Six stories while six million died.”
