Discover the shocking secret map President Truman found in FDR's desk that revealed Roosevelt knew about Nazi concentration camps since 1942 but refused to bomb them. Learn the disturbing truth about the railway lines to Auschwitz that could have been destroyed, the tens of thousands of lives that might have been saved, and the sick political calculations behind Roosevelt's decision. This is the hidden Holocaust document that changed how Truman viewed his predecessor forever and shaped America's approach to humanitarian crises. Explore the moral failure FDR tried to hide and why Truman sealed these documents for decades.
Right, but Churchill was more functional
I would suggest that any who are interested in Roosevelt read it. I puts into words what has long been suspected of Roosevelt.
My folks thought the sun rose and set on a certain part of his anatomy. His policies prolonged the depression. He tried Mussolini's economic programs several times. He spent more money than ever and after his first 8 years the country was still in depression. He was a failed president and he even gave Stalin Eastern Europe and England's bulldog was madder than hell.
FDR was focused on The United Nations being his legacy, it’s what drove him.
And Americans went along, because they were convinced that America’s refusal to join The League Of Nations, was one of the main causes of the war.
Agree. This article is total BS. I’m no FDR fan, and he may well have been an anti semite, but the only way to stop the murder of Jews was to stop the NAZIs.
I followed the link and listened to the song--and it was a good song I haven't heard before--but I don't see how it is the song you described. "One Stage Before" is, by Stewart's own description (I looked it up) is about being on stage and thinking about all the performers down through the ages who might have stood and performed on this very floor.
I grew up a skant 20 years after WWII, in a neighborhood where Jew-osity was not an issue. And I chillingly remember thinking, “That’s funny, but why are we still making these jokes? The horrors of the camps are TWO DECADES past, and the ENTIRE WORLD knows what happened. We’ll never see hatred like that again.”
The Jewish actor, Werner Klemperer, who played Sgt Schultz on Hogan’s Heroes, had a stipulation that the Nazis could never be shown succeeding on the show. And all of the actors portraying the Germans were Jewish.
What ever drove him caused a lot of misery, both abroad and within the American population. Those people never forgot the had times he caused. He had multiple occasions to stop the depression, but didn’t. As I said, if the war hadn’t arrived, which he was sure that it was coming, his legacy would have totally imploded.
Roosevelt’s Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau Jr. was Jewish and had connections to Zionist groups that communicated to him what was going on the camps. He repeatedly told Roosevelt about the camps. Our bombers, when unable to attack a target needed to dump their bombs to make it home. They would drop them unarmed in unpopulated countryside. Morgenthau tried to convince Roosevelt to bomb the extermination camps with the hope the camps would be disrupted and damaged and put out of commission and inmates might escape in the chaos. Roosevelt refused to authorize it. He clearly knew what was going on and did nothing.
In 1940 Hitler found mass graves in Poland. He reported them, invited neutral observers in to inspect them. I believe it was in the area of the Katyn Forest? The Soviets did this, to anyone they could get their mitts on. Many of the photos of mass casualties were from that area, and masses of people were killed by bombing towards the end of the war by Britain, and of course the Russians troops came through chasing German troops back to Germany.
This story seems to be timed to lay the blame on the Nazis, to take it off of other people I guess.
Unless you want to help finish off the jews, I can see why you wouldn't bomb were prisoners were being held.
That’s very disingenuous about the MS st. Louis. In 1939 the great depression was still very bad in the United States. There were soup kitchens and people selling apples on street corners still. People were getting relief by being in the CCC and WPA organization for a paycheck. The last thing America could do was have a ship full of refugees arrive. Most of them would probably be destitute or close to it since generally the Nazis only allowed people to leave with what they could carry. 900 people no big deal you say? If you let him one, it would unleash a flood from Europe. Renege, we weren’t spewing in ANY immigrants then. It would have been simply unimaginable to allow in a wave of poverty stricken refugees in the midst of the Great Depression. And even though it’s not popular to say, the Bolshevik USSR was organized, lead, and conducted by Jews.
Up to the present day, every revolutionary socialist organization in America is funded or organized and often led by Jewish people. Today it sucks, but in 1930s America, there was a very real risk of an outright communist revolution in America. Hollywood was making numerous pro-communist films, and poverty stricken people were listening to the message. The last thing you could do is lead and more organizers, and more poverty stricken and socialist prone people.
It might seem harsh by today’s standards, but Roosevelt made the right decision about the St. Louis.
They were supposed to BOMB THE JEWS IN THE CAMP?????? WTH?
That’s a solid point. Nobody complains about the Soviets not bombing those camps. Although in 1942 during operation Reinhardt, the Soviets were fighting for their lives, and the Nazi army was deep in Russia. Also, the Russians never really had a strategic Air Force. But it shocks the modern conscience to say so, but World War II was not fought over the well-being of the Jewish people. That issue was bad, but it was nowhere near an existential question for the allies, nor a prime mover.

Your entire reply is .... quite telling, Rhino.
Your post is YOUR opinion.
And, you know what they say about opinions.
There is no sane way to put "best DemonRAT President in the 20th Century" in the same sentence.
All of those pricks were either communists or conspirators, even the "wonderful" JFK, that screwed everything and took paid for illegal votes to get "elected".
RFK Jr. is the best of a bad lot, and I don't give him a 100% pass.
The Kennedy Clan has been corrupt since they started bootlegging scotch {and probably way before that}.
Roosevelt wasn’t as bad as people say. He made some very bad mistakes on the economy, but he had a lot of problems. There was an active element of Soviet agents in America and a very real possible Marxist Soviet style revolution in America. At the same time, the business men’s plot that medley Butler exposed Tried to conduct a Mussolini style fascist takeover of the US government. Roosevelt also knew World War II was coming, but that nearly everyone in America opposed it. He had a lot of balls to juggle in the air and did probably as good a job as anyone could’ve back then.
And then, of course, he never really grasped that there were a few people very close to him and his administration that were honest to God Soviet agents
In 1940 Hitler found mass graves in Poland.
To be more precise, it was 1941, when Barbarossa started, and the Nazis the area where the Katyn forest was. That is when they discovered the graves. But yes, the murders occurred in the year 1940.
In the movie Katyń, the sister of one of the officers killed was arrested by the Communist authorities because she dared to list his year of death on his gravestone as 1940.
It might seem harsh by today’s standards, but Roosevelt made the right decision about the St. Louis.
The Cubans were the real villains there. They renegged on their promise.
Like I said, Castro may very well have been their punishment.
“Our bombers, when unable to attack a target needed to dump their bombs to make it home. They would drop them unarmed in unpopulated countryside. Morgenthau tried to convince Roosevelt to bomb the extermination camps”
Sheer lunacy. Simply look at a map, and look at a map of Allied eight Air Force bombing target in 1942 and 1943 and into early 1944. Most of the extermination camps were already out of business, and the ones remaining were in the eastern part of Poland and southern Poland. There’s no such thing as stopping by a death camp on the way home. It’s that kind of urban legend that tries to make Roosevelt into some kind of monster who didn’t care about the death camps. It’s astonishing to me how people think the eighth Air Force could’ve done so much more. They were fighting for their lives. 44% of bomber command in the RAF never made it home. In the eighth Air Force it was a major event when in mid 43 a crew finally survived its 25th mission.
Additionally, when they arrived on a target that was obscured and they could not see it through the clouds, guess what you would find anywhere on an alternative target? Ever been to Germany for about half the year?
Childish to think they could just roam around Germany at will. Every mission was pretty much a close run affair, and they were doing their best to survive.
