Americans and the Holocaust examines
the motives, pressures and fears that shaped Americans’ responses to Nazism, war, and genocide in Europe during the 1930s-1940s. It also addresses important themes in American history, exploring the many factors that influenced decisions made by the U.S. Government, the news media, organizations, and individuals as they responded to Nazism.
