Description of  Accomplices: Churchill, Roosevelt and the Holocaust

This volume asserts that there was tacit cooperation in the Nazi extermination of the Jewish population of Europe by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and American President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the Second World War. Although the Allies publicly recognized the Nazi massacre of the Jews in the London Declaration of December 17, 1942, the policies they pursued allowed the genocide to continue. They did so, the author claims, in three ways: (1) refusal to publicly and personally speak about and against the Nazi extermination of the Jews (2) refusal to commit even one soldier, one plane, or one warship to any forcible opposition to the Final Solution throughout the Second World War and (3) obstruction of Jewish escape from Hitlers Europe. This book explores the motivation for the policies Churchill and Roosevelt pursued.
