1. 1. Rescue Board

   The Untold Story of America's Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe During the Holocaust

   

   A tightly researched narrative that reveals how a small group of U.S. officials created a wartime rescue effort and battled entrenched State Department resistance to try to save Europe’s Jews in the final years of World War II. Drawing on archival material and personal papers, it traces the board’s contested formation, the political infighting and delay that limited early action, and the pragmatic, sometimes clandestine measures—money transfers, negotiated visas, and support for daring diplomats and rescuers—that managed to rescue tens of thousands even as millions perished. The account exposes institutional antisemitism and bureaucratic failure while acknowledging the moral complexity and tangible, if belated, achievements of those who fought for rescue.
