The Holocaust – United States And Britain

Posted on 04. Nov, 2009 by admin in Fall/Summer 2009, Jewish News

the Vatican newspaper, L‘osservatore romano, reviewed historical
documents that the U.S. and British governments ignored or minimized
reports of the Nazi extermination plans to exterminate all the Jews of europe
in 1942.

the article (August 13, 2009) quotes heavily from the diary of Henry
Morgenthau Jr., U.S. secretary of the treasury during World War II who said
that as early as August 1942 administration officials “knew that the Nazis
were planning to exterminate all the Jews of europe.”
the Vatican newspaper article also cites a series of State Department
orders apparently aimed at preventing reports on Nazi atrocities from
reaching the public, which would have increased pressure on the
administration for action.
