American Refugee Policy and European Jewry, 1933–1945

Autor Richard Bretman, Alan M. Kraut
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 ian 1988
How does one explain America's failure to take bold action to resist the Nazi persecution and murder of European Jews? Drawing on exhaustive archival research, the authors find that the bureaucrats who made and implemented refugee policy were motivated by institutional priorities and reluctance to take risks rather than by moral or humanitarian concerns.
