1944：罗斯福与改变历史的一年
(us) Jay Winnick
1944 saw Roosevelt's re-election and the pinnacle of his wartime leadership, the unprecedented Normandy landings, the liberation of Paris, and the chaotic conferences that laid the foundation for future peace. 1944 Will also not forget Hitler's "Final Solution," the lives of millions of Jews at stake, and Roosevelt's indecision. While the Allied forces were fighting the Normandy landings, the Nazis were accelerating their murder of Europe's Jews. Is winning the war the best way to save the Jews? Would freeing the Jews hinder the Allies' plan to defeat Hitler? During this year, Roosevelt made countless difficult decisions, but how to save the lives of European Jews seemed to have become an uncontrollable challenge... In 1944, the Allies encountered various obstacles, or Hitler's power became more concentrated. These are stories that could have happened but did not happen in the end. Yet during the year, democracy was redeemed, albeit at a high cost. Also in the same year, the U. S. Congress, where anti-Semitic ideologies dominated, under pressure from various quarters, established the War Refugee Commission to save Jews from the Nazi slaughter. This marked the U. S.'S official intervention in the Holocaust. But the best opportunity was missed when European and American countries closed their doors to accept Jewish immigrants. In this magnificent story, Jay Winnick captures the twists and turns of history with unprecedented scope. But these twists and turns still fail to answer one question: How many more Jews could have been saved if the United States had acted sooner?
