Headline: "President Renews Pledges to Jews – 9-10"

Yes, it is not a page one Holocaust story, but anyone interested would have a pretty fair idea of what was happening to Jews in Nazi Europe, and President Roosevelt's response.

Interesting to me that at least there was some idea of the extermination was taking place. However not nearly the full extent of the devastation.

For some reason I had always assumed (always a mistake) that the murder of millions of European Jews had come as a complete shock to the U.S. Government and was basically unknown until near the end of the war in Europe.

One thing now seems crystal clear: there were enough hints and enough information and news available by the end of 1943 for Roosevelt and many of the major players in his administration, especially in the State Dept, to have to have been aware of what was going on
Whether it was because this news was too shocking to believe or whether our government just didn't care what happened and chose to ignore it is almost unbelievable.

I can't shake the feeling that we knew exactly what was going on but chose for reasons unknown, to ignore it.
