"Provides a vital context by which to approach the American response to the Holocaust. America and the Holocaust will be of direct benefit to educators and students engaged in Holocaust Studies, U.S. immigration history, the history of Jews in the United States, and those undertaking studies of human rights in the twentieth century."--Paul Bartrop, former professor and director, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Research, Florida Gulf Coast University, "This work is much more than a documentary history. Rafael Medoff, one of the foremost authorities on American responses to the Holocaust, presents an excellent overview of the subject, drawing on cutting-edge scholarship in the field and providing an in-depth analysis of primary sources. Medoff addresses a wide array of convergent issues. Readers at all levels--scholars of the Holocaust, as well as university and high school students encountering this material for the first time--will find much of value on the Holocaust, the Roosevelt administration, World War II, and antisemitism."--Stephen H. Norwood, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, "America and the Holocaust is a must for anyone, but especially students and educators, who wish to learn how the U.S. responded to the growing avalanche of anti-Jewish measures culminating in the horrific extermination of millions of European Jews. Appropriate documents highlight the topics under discussion. Medoff's well-written book will apprise the reader of everything one needs to know on the response or lack of response of American officialdom and public figures to the danger posed by Nazi Germany, not only to the Jews, who constituted the principal target, but to civilization as a whole."--Mordecai Paldiel, former director, Department of the Righteous, Yad Vashem, "Well written and well argued, Medoff's indictment makes for a compelling read."--Gaëlle Fisher, American Jewish Archives Journal, "Replacing slogans with facts, uninformed opinions with information, and hyperbole with solid historical documents, this documentary history will go a long way toward helping students and interested lay readers become better informed about the relationship between America and the Holocaust."--Alan Berger, Raddock Family Eminent Scholar Chair in Holocaust Studies, Florida Atlantic University, "This is an important and long-overdue book--exactly the material students need to understand this crucial chapter in American history and inform them as they consider issues related to genocide in our own time."--Bat-Ami Zucker, professor of American history at Bar Ilan University, "Highly impressive. This expertly constructed documentary history is a major contribution to understanding America's response to the Holocaust."--Steven T. Katz, Slater Chair in Jewish Holocaust Studies, Boston University, "Medoff's documentary history is a valuable source for all readers seeking reference material on the Holocaust tragedy."--C. C. Lovett, Choice, "Provides a vital context by which to approach the American perspective and the American response to the Holocaust. America and the Holocaust will be of direct benefit to educators and students engaged in Holocaust Studies, U.S. immigration history, the history of Jews in the United States, and those undertaking studies of human rights in the twentieth century."--Paul Bartrop, former professor and director, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Research, Florida Gulf Coast University, "The division of the Medoff book into 20 chapters makes it an ideal choice for a semester-long high school, college or adult-education class on the Holocaust."-- Greater Houston Jewish News, "Provides a vital context by which to approach the American perspective--and complicity--in the Holocaust. America and the Holocaust will be of direct benefit to educators and students engaged in Holocaust Studies, U.S. immigration history, the history of Jews in the United States, and those undertaking studies of human rights in the twentieth century."--Paul Bartrop, former professor and director, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Research, Florida Gulf Coast University, "America and the Holocaust is a must for anyone, but especially students and educators, who wish to learn how the U.S. responded to the growing avalanche of anti-Jewish measures culminating in the horrific extermination of millions of European Jews.

Synopsis
The first comprehensive volume to teach about America's response to the Holocaust through visual media, America and the Holocaust: A Documentary History explores the complex subject through the lens of one hundred important documents that help illuminate and amplify key episodes and issues., 2023 Choice Outstanding Academic Title The first comprehensive volume to teach about America's response to the Holocaust through visual media, America and the Holocaust: A Documentary History explores the complex subject through the lens of one hundred important documents that help illuminate and amplify key episodes and issues. Each chapter pivots on five key documents: two in image form and three in text form. Individual introductions that contextualize the documents are followed by explanatory text, analysis of historical implications, and suggestions for further reading. A concluding state-of-the-field essay documents how scholars have arrived at the presented information. A complementary teacher's guide with questions for discussion is available online. The twenty chapters address a broad range of subjects and events, among them America's response to Hitler's rise, U.S. public opinion about Jews, immigration policy, the Wagner-Rogers bill to save children, American rescuers, news coverage of atrocities, American Jewish and Christian responses to the Holocaust, the campaign for U.S. rescue action, the question of bombing Auschwitz, and liberation. Viewing real documents as a means to understanding core issues will deepen reader involvement with this material. High school and college students as well as general readers of all levels of knowledge will be engaged in understanding this crucial chapter in American history and weighing questions regarding mass atrocities in our own era.
