Pressestimmen
"A story that needs to be remembered. It is here told by a real historian . . . whose style is the more moving by being objective and controlled. "-Hugh Trevor-Roper, The Times (London)
Kurzbeschreibung
When Hitler announced that the result of the war in Europe would be "the complete annihilation of the Jews," he did so in 1942, not only in public, but before an enormous crowd in Berlin. The Allies heard, but astonishingly, they did not listen. Why?
In 1944, Allied reconnaissance pilots, searching out industrial targets in the area, repeatedly photographed Auschwitz. The pictures, apparently overlooked by the Allies, were routinely filed in government archives and not examined until 1979. Why?
First-hand reports on the horrors of the death camps came to the West by 1944 in the person of two escaped Auschwitz prisoners. Their testimonies, and those of subsequent escapees, were either ignored or dismissed. Why?
Despite the fact that, the same year, Churchill himself had ordered feasibility studies for air strikes on Auschwitz, the RAF not only did nothing, but eventually passed the buck to the Americans, who also did nothing. Why?

A Searing Indictment of Deceit and Wilfull Ingnorance,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Auschwitz and the Allies: A Devastating Account of How the Allies Responded to the News of Hitler's Mass Murder (An Owl Book) (Taschenbuch)
This book is in many ways two books -the first being how the British and Americans were duped into not realizing the true nature of "the deportations to the East." The second was their lack of real interest in saving what could have been saved of the Jews. When one reads the memorandums by such people as John J. McCloy and various faceless British Foreign Office officals you get the feeling that their greatest fear was what were they going to do "with all these Jews" who could be rescued. The old canard oft stated by Roosevelt apologists such as William D. Rubinstein who wrote "The Myth of Rescue" that the best way to help the Jews was to win the war as quickly as possible is proven false - Jews could be rescued if there was a will to rescue. them. The most heartrending section of all - dealing with the destruction of the Jews of Hungary is when you read all the excuses given for not bombing the gaschambers at Auschwitz is when you see the actual aerial photographs of Birkenau and people being led to the gas chambers. The allies always claimed that it was logistically impossible to bomb Auschwitz-Birkenau and we now kmow that was a damnable lie. Also the real heroes we learn are of all people - Treasury Department Officials and two escaped Auschwitz prisoners who brought to the world the horrors of Auschwitz and fought the crypt Anti-Semites who were not doing all they could for rescue.

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Auschwitz and the Allies: A Devastating Account of How the Allies Responded to the News of Hitler's Mass Murder (An Owl Book) (Taschenbuch)
This thoroughly documented and deeply disturbing book is divided into three parts. The Final Solution includes the chapters Hitler's Pledge, Warnings And Forebodings, Britain's Dilemma, Evidence And Omissions, Rescue and Refuge, Eyewitness and This Bestial Policy. Part Two: Hope And Hopelessness includes Warsaw And Bermuda, The Spread Of Nazi Power and The German Occupation Of Hungary. Part Three: Auschwitz revealed, includes inter alia, Escape From Auschwitz, Zionism At Bay, The Deportations From Hungary, The End Of Auschwitz and the Epilogue.The book is painful to read as it chronicles the history of the Shoah from the earliest warnings of Hitler's intentions through the war, the doomed attempts of many individuals and organisations to rescue the Jews, the indifference and the excuses given by certain officials on the Allied side, and the actions, good and bad, of occupied and neutral countries. Although the book does not focus on personal experiences in the holocaust, there are some examples of unspeakable horror that the sensitive reader had best avoid. The author ascribes the extent of the tragedy and the failure to do more as failures of imagination, of response, of intelligence, co-ordination and of sympathy. To me the most shocking revelations are those where policymakers used the excuse that they were afraid of flooding Palestine and the UK with Jewish refugees. Or maybe even worse, those who claimed that the reports coming out of Europe were exaggerated. Another incredible show of indifference was the refusal of the Allies to bomb Auschwitz, while their planes were overflying the accursed place to drop supplies on Warsaw for the Polish uprising. Here and there one finds some glimpses of right action, for example Bulgaria, an Axis ally that nevertheless managed to protect its Jews from the worst. But overall, one is left with a feeling of utter despair at the way the events unfolded and the frustration that Zionist leaders must have endured in trying to help their doomed people. It is chilling to read how countries like Switzerland refused to accommodate refugees and how every obstacle was placed in the way of orphaned children trying to reach Israel. The world looked on and it still does. Since then, we have witnessed Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya and Darfur. The book contains 16 pages of black and white plates and 20 maps. It concludes with biographical notes and a thorough index. For more information and background on the horror and the indifference, I recommend The History Of The Jews by Paul Johnson and The Contract Of Mutual Indifference: Political Philosophy After The Holocaust by Norman Geras. For a glimpse of the future, consult Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam And The American Left by David Horowitz and The Mountains Of Israel by Norma Parrish Archbold.
