A calculated restraint

A calculated restraint What Allied leaders said about the Holocaust

Richard Breitman, 1947-

Book - 2025

"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."--
