Obviously, those are total numbers for the period 1933 through 1940, and as you noted, they are disputed numbers.

And yet you just introduced them into evidence as if they were true ...

And, so far as I know, they are true.
They are quoted from an author I consider learned and reliable.
In response, our FRiend Olog-hai posted a link which disputes them.
So I acknowledge they are disputed, while at the same time I doubt the veracity of those doing the disputing.

As I said above, the Rosen book, Saving the Jews is an enthusiastic full-throated defense of Roosevelt's actions during the 30s and 40s.
Sure, an impartial jury might wish to look at both sides of the case, but I would not automatically dismiss as "wrong" every point of Rosen's which is somehow disputed.
