A race against death : Peter Bergson, America, and the Holocaust
This text includes a transcription based on a twelve-hour interview with Hillel Kook (Peter Bergson). Kook's (Bergson's) contention that America failed to react to the genocide perpetrated on the Jewish people during WWII is placed in perspective by several related documents. Kook (Bergson) led a campaign to stir U.S. political and public opinion toward the rescue of Jews in Europe. Text based on a twelve-hour interview with Hillel Kook (Peter Bergson) includes "Report to the Secretary on the acquiescence of this government in the murder of the Jews" dated January 13th, 1944. xvi, 269 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm
