Více o knize

The book delves into the complex responses of American Jews to Nazism and the Holocaust, emphasizing their significant involvement in the Zionist movement aimed at establishing a Jewish state. This pursuit was seen as a solution to Jewish homelessness, which they identified as a root cause of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. While American Zionists played a crucial role in the creation of Israel in 1948, their political demands complicated humanitarian appeals for aid to European Jewry, highlighting the tensions between political aspirations and moral imperatives.
