Abstract:
A bibliographical essay describing research done in the 1980s on the subject of America's rescue and refugee policy during the Holocaust. Virtually all of the works show that the Allies were almost perversely concerned that they would have to act to aid Jews, and that the "bystanders" (e.g. America and the Allies, the Vatican, the Red Cross) accorded the rescue of the Jews a low priority at best. These books also demonstrate the confluence of disbelief, indifference, antisemitism, and political expediency which influenced Allied behavior after the war.
Note:
On recent studies on the subject.
