This volume asserts that there was tacit cooperation in the Nazi
extermination of the Jewish population of Europe by British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill and American President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the
Second World War. Although the Allies publicly recognized the
Nazi massacre of the Jews in the London Declaration of December 17, 1942,
the policies they pursued allowed the genocide to continue. They
did so, the author claims, in three ways: (1) refusal to publicly and
personally speak about and against the Nazi extermination of the Jews; (2)
refusal to commit even one soldier, one plane, or one warship to any
forcible opposition to the «Final Solution» throughout the Second World
War; and (3) obstruction of Jewish escape from Hitler's Europe. This book
explores the motivation for the policies Churchill and Roosevelt
pursued.
Alexander J. Groth is a Holocaust survivor, most of whose family perished
during the Nazi «Final Solution.» He received his PhD from Columbia
University and his BA magna cum laude from the City College of New York. He
is Emeritus Professor of Political Science at the University
of California, Davis, where he has taught since 1962, specializing in
comparative politics. Groth is the author and editor of numerous books
including Comparative Politics (1971); People's Poland (1972); Public Policy
Across Nations (1985); Lincoln (1996); Democracies Against Hitler
(1999); and, most recently, Holocaust Voices (2003).
