| Summary: | Historians who have specialized in America's response to the Holocaust, particularly David Wyman, agree that the American reaction to the Holocaust was morally condemnable. They fault the United States government as well as American Jewry for inexcusable indifference, and worse, in not having saved, or even sought to have saved, more European Jews from genocide. However, a detailed review of their writings fails to discover the factual evidence, balanced perspective, and comprehensive analysis which alone could support the stark judgments which these writers have rendered There remains substantial scope for a more objective scholarship which develops the linkages essential to a definitive study of this subject. |
