Why We Watched Europe, America, and the Holocaust This book
answers the most pressing question about the Holocaust: Why did
the West do nothing as Hitler's killing machine took hold? The
Allies stood by and watched Nazi Germany imprison and then
murder six million Jews during World War II. How could the
unthinkable have been allowed to happen? Theodore Hamerow
reveals in the pages of this compelling book that each Western
nation had its own version of the Jewish Question—its own type
of anti-Semitism—which may not have been as virulent as in
Eastern Europe but was disastrously crippling nonetheless. If
just one country had opened its doors to Germany's already
persecuted Jews in the 1930s, and if the Allies had attempted
even one bombing of an extermination camp, the Holocaust would
have been markedly different. Instead, by sitting on their
hands, the West let Hitler solve their Jewish Question by
eliminating European Jewry. - August 2008 - 6.5 × 9.6 in / 544
