A new book by American professor of Jewish history Rafael Medoff offers new insights into how American newspapers deliberately buried the trail of Hitler’s genocidal rampage in occupied Europe until well after the Red Army turned the tide against the Nazis in World War II. The book, titled “America and the Holocaust: A Documentary History,” delves into Holocaust reporting by major American newspapers, finding, for example, that the Chicago Daily Tribute put a single paragraph of an Associated Press report on Hitler’s “Final Solution”, including an estimate that over a million Jews had been killed throughout occupied Europe, on page six of its June 29 edition 1942. Nazis. The Los Angeles Times, for example, ran the same AP dossier on page three of a late June edition of the article, under an article about British POWs. The researcher noted for example that in the summer of 1942, in the midst of the Nazi invasion of the USSR, the American media and officials in Washington were fully aware of the extermination campaigns – including the Babyn murders. Yar outside kyiv in September 1941, in which some 33,000 Soviet Jews were killed within two days, and another 150,000 perished in the following month. “But instead of asking Roosevelt administration officials about the nascent genocide, reporters generally avoided the topic,” Medoff said in an interview with Israeli media. “Few American journalists have asked President Roosevelt or his top aides about their policy of non-rescue during the Holocaust. It was both an abdication of responsibility and a moral tragedy,” the researcher explained. American Jews covered Nazi crimes in more detail and on a regular basis, but American Jewish leaders curiously did not act to pressure the government, according to Medoff. For example, the influential American Rabbi Stephen Wise, a confidant of Roosevelt, allegedly deliberately deleted Telegram reporting on Nazi crimes, including the “final solution” plan for the industrial-scale genocide of Jews and other undesirables at a series of death camps, after he been invited to do so by the State Department. to refugees,” the researcher said. Between 1933 and 1945, only 125,000 Germans, mostly of Jewish descent, were granted refugee status. fugitive to the United States, with 73% of available visa slots unfilled between 1934 and 1937, and a whopping 92% unfilled between 1942 and 1945.

Over 22 million non-combatants perished at the hands of the Nazis during World War II, including over 13 million Soviet citizens (including 1.3 million Jews), 4.3 million Jews from other countries, 2 .8 million Soviet prisoners of war, 1.8 million Poles and hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Roma, Freemasons, homosexuals and others.
A new book by American professor of Jewish history Rafael Medoff offers new insights into how American newspapers deliberately buried the trail of Hitler’s genocidal rampage in occupied Europe until well after the Red Army overthrew the steam against the Nazis during World War II.
The book, titled “America and the Holocaust: A Documentary History,” delves into Holocaust reporting by major American newspapers, finding, for example, that the Chicago Daily Tribute put a single paragraph of an Associated Press report on Hitler’s ‘Final Solution’, including an estimate that over a million Jews were killed in occupied Europe, on page six of its June 29, 1942 edition.
Medoff discovered that other dailies followed similar tactics, avoiding headlines for the systematic murder campaigns undertaken by the Nazis. The Los Angeles Times, for example, ran the same AP dossier on page three of a late June edition of the paper, under an article about British prisoners of war.
Medoff noted that between the fall of 1941, when the New York Times published an article titled “Holocaust by Bullets” on page six of its October 26, 1941 edition detailing the execution of tens of thousands of Jews in occupied Poland , and in late 1943, when the systematic nature of the Nazis’ crimes could no longer be ignored, the media, government, and even US-based Jewish groups largely dismissed the issue.
The researcher noted for example that in the summer of 1942, in the midst of the Nazi invasion of the USSR, the media and American officials in Washington were fully aware of the extermination campaigns – including the Babyn murders. Yar outside kyiv in September 1941, in which some 33,000 Soviet Jews were killed in the space of two days, and another 150,000 perished in the months that followed.
American Jewish media covered Nazi crimes with greater detail and regularity, but American Jewish leaders surprisingly did not act to pressure the government, according to Medoff. For example, the influential American Rabbi Stephen Wise, a confidant of Roosevelt, allegedly deliberately suppressed Telegram reporting on Nazi crimes, including the “final solution” plan for the industrial-scale genocide of Jews and other undesirables to a series of death camps, after being invited to do so by the State Department.
“It is surprising how little attention he paid to mass murder in September, October and much of November 1942, and how mired in business as usual he was, such as the Jewish organizational rivalries, local politics and other less pressing issues,” Medoff said.
Even as reports from occupied Europe became impossible to ignore in 1943, the U.S. government occasionally suppressed them, “fearing that the publicity would increase public pressure to open America’s doors to refugees,” the report said. searcher.
