The Roosevelt administration knew about the mass murder of Jews in Auschwitz, but did not order US planes to bomb the gas chambers, largely because saving Jews would have resulted in more pressure to let the refugees come to the United States. This is complete crap.

Michael Medved on a radio show a while back made the claim that Roosevelt needed the backing of an antiSemetic congressman to push his domestic agenda and therefore did not bomb the railway depots where the Jews were loaded for their trips to the death camps. The military had actually identified these places and offered to bomb them but FDR refused. Even before the war Hitler had offered to allow any Jew to emigrate to any country that would grant them visas. FDR refused to do this also. There was a movie called Voyage of the Damned about a whole shipload of these people who wound up in the camps and presumably died because FDR wouldn't grant visas. This article is not anti-USA it is anti-FDR. FDR is also responsible for the deaths of over 2 million refugees who were repatriated into the loving arms of Joe Stalin after the war was over. He made secret agreements with Stalin to this effect in addition to giving him Eastern Europe. I am confident that FDR burns in Hell with Hitler and Stalin.
