"This important book answers--in a compelling fashion--some of the questions which have long been asked about the New York Times' coverage of the Holocaust. Probing far behind the headlines, Leff tells the fascinating story of how the Sulzberger family was rescuing its relatives from Germany at the same time that it was burying the story of the Holocaust in the inner recesses of the paper." --Deborah E. Lipstadt, author of Beyond Belief: The American Press and the Coming of the Holocaust, 'A highly readable and scrupulously researched book about an important journalistic failure.' AJS Review, 'A dispassionate and impeccably fair account ... As a portrait of the journalistic culture of the Times in wartime, it is unlikely to be superseded.' Commentary, '... a superbly researched work that seems to me one of the most devastating books ever written about a newspaper.' National Post, Canada, '… Laurel Leff's study of the reporting of the Holocaust in the pages of the New York Times does more than simply fill a gap by offering an in-dpeth study of America's most significant daily … her book stands as a model for future studies in this sub-field of Holocaust Studies … [and] makes the book of interest not only to those wanting to know what the New York Times reported on the Holocaust.

It is part and parcel with the same mindset of the Roosevelt Administration. One can only wonder in great sorrow at how many lives might have been saved if the nation's and world's conscience had been touched by full and complete coverage by the Times of what remains the greatest crime of world history." -Stuart E.

Commentary, "Laurel Leff has written an exceptional study of one of the darkest failures of the New York Times--its non-coverage of the holocaust during World War II. How could the best newspaper in the United States, perhaps in the world, under-estimate and under-report the mass killing of more than 6,000,000 Jews? Read this book, which provides answers and in the process stands tall in scholarship, style and importance." --Marvin Kalb, Senior Fellow at Harvard's Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy, 'A brilliant history, one whose insights offer editors much about today.'

Synopsis
An in-depth look at how The New York Times failed in its coverage of the fate of European Jews from 1939-45. It examines how the decisions that were made at The Times ultimately resulted in the minimizing and misunderstanding of modern history's worst genocide. Laurel Leff, a veteran journalist and professor of journalism, recounts how personal relationships at the newspaper, the assimilationist tendencies of The Times' Jewish owner, and the ethos of mid-century America, all led The Times to consistently downplay news of the Holocaust. It recalls how news of Hitler's 'final solution' was hidden from readers and - because of the newspaper's influence on other media - from America at large. Buried by The Times is required reading for anyone interested in America's response to the Holocaust and for anyone curious about how journalists determine what is newsworthy., An in-depth look at how The New York Times failed in its coverage of the fate of European Jews from 1939-45. It examines the many decisions that were made at The Times, that ultimately resulted in the minimizing, misunderstanding, and dilution of modern history's worst genocide.
