FDR and the Jews December 6, 2009
New York City, New York 10280
Moderated by Museum Director David G. Marwell, Ph.D. ; Richard Breitman (Refugees and Rescue: The Diaries and Papers of James G. McDonald, 1935-1945) and Deborah E. Lipstadt (Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust).
Could Franklin D. Roosevelt have done more to help European Jews before and during WWII? What effect did American Jewry, the general public, and political realities have on the president’s conduct and decision making? Historians will distinguish policy from perception and discuss new evidence that challenges widely held opinions about FDR.
Join us for a tour of The Morgenthaus: A Legacy of Service at 6 P.M. Space is limited. Pre-registration for tour is required.
