In this scholarly study, Feingold's purpose is to present an examination of the political climate and context that shaped the U.S. response (or lack thereof) to the events unfolding in Nazi-occupied Europe. A key aspect of the book focuses on the U.S. and international refugee policy as it evolved from the Evian Conference in 1938 to the creation of the U.S. War Refugee Board in 1944

  • Lipstadt , Deborah E. 1986 . Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust 1933–1945 , New York : The Free Press . This outstanding book by the noted scholar Deborah Lipstadt presents the most detailed discussion to date vis-ä-vis the coverage of the American press on the Holocaust years. Lipstadt also addresses, but to a lesser extent, the British press, particularly articles found in the London Times and the Manchester Guardian. Also cited are the Daily Telegraph and Morning Post, the London Observer, the Spectator, London Daily Herald, Evening Standard, and the Glasgow Evening News. For those teachers who are going to have their students examine the press’ coverage (particularly that of the U.S. and British) then this is a must work for them to read and consult. Its section entitled “Notes” is packed with excellent references, many of which are included in this selected annotated bibliography. Included in the aforementioned lists of references are the names of scores of newspapers across the U.S. and some of the many articles on the Nazis’ actions that were included in such newspapers
  • Marty , Martin E. April 10 1985 . “The Century and the Holocaust”, Christian Century ” . In this piece Marty defends the Christian Century's editorial position during the Holocaust years. In Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust 1933–1945 Deborah Lipstadt states: “While Marty correctly cites a number of occasions when the journal did speak out on behalf of persecuted Jews, there were many other occasions when its position was ambivalent at best” April 10 , 350 – 352 . 331
  • Morse , Arthur . 1967 . While Six Million Died: A Chronicle of American Apathy , 322 New York : Random House . White this book's exclusive focus is not on the American press but rather on the attitudes, perspectives and action/lack of action President Franklin Roosevelt, the U.S. State Department and Congress vis-ä-vis the unfolding of the Holocaust, it includes pertinent information for those who are examining how and why the U.S. acted the way it did in regard to the fate of the Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe. As Deborah Lipstadt (1986) notes in Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust 1933–1945: “The book which propelled both the discussion of American policy during the war and the question of “When did they know?” into the public arena was Arthur Morse's While Six Million Died“

Contains information on this reporters perspective on the situation in Nazi Germany following a visit there in March 1933, her expulsion from Germany in 1934 which was ostensibly a result of her interview with Hitler in 1932 and her reports in 1933 castigating the Nazi's anti-Semitic actions

  • Wyman , David . 1984 . The Abandonment of the Jews: America and the Holocaust, 1941–1945 , New York : Pantheon Books . Wyman examines the issue of what was known, when and by whom in the U.S. about the physical annihilation of the Jews by the Nazis. As survivor Elie Wiesel states in the introduction to this book: “Roosevelt's politics was only part of the problem; the rest had to do with the particular mood of the country at that time. David Wyman provides us with a few striking instances of it: the Congress's unequivocal opposition to immigration, the Christian churches' near-silence, the press's burial of news of the death factories in the back pages of their newspapers” (p. ix)
  • Wyman , David . 1985 . Paper Wails: America and the Refugee Crisis, 1938–1941 , New York : Pantheon . Paper Walls Wyman examines the American policy on refugees in the years leading up to World War II. From 1938 through 1941 German Jews attempted to leave their country, but were barred from entering the United States due to restrictive immigration policies. Ultimately, millions were killed while a mere 150,000 were eventually admitted to the U.S. Wyman argues that the basis for the denial to allow the desperate Jews to enter the U.S. were: “unemployment in the U.S., nationalism, anti-Semitism, and, later, fear of fifth columnists disguised as refugees.”
