Summary: | Shlomo Aronson’s latest book examines the interactions between Nazi officials, Jewish would-be rescuers, and Allied agencies during World War II (especially after 1943). A professor of political science at the Hebrew University in Israel, Aronson utters or implies some unpleasant truths, many of which are both ironic and tragic. Hitler’s treatment of the German Jews helped to turn the West against him, yet the Allies went to war to not save the Jews, but to save themselves. In fact, their declarations of war only confirmed Adolf Hitler’s innermost belief that the Western powers were puppets of his Jewish enemies. |
