Summary:
"In The Abandonment of the Jews, David Dyman brilliantly exposed
America
's failure to help rescue the victims of Nazi genocide. One individual,
Peter
Bergson
(Hillel Kook), led a tireless battle
against
that tide of indifference. Now, Wyman and Rafael Medoff tell the story of the man who led
America
's most effective campaign to rescue victims of the
Holocaust
. Extensive firsthand interviews present
Peter
Bergson
's own account of his remarkable life. Facing the threat of deportation and persistent opposition to his activities,
Bergson
employed every conceivable method to influence policy and public opinion: he personally hounded Congressmen to support rescue; placed controversial full-page ads in major newspapers demanding action; organized a march on Washington by 400 rabbis; and drew a record-setting crowd of 40,000 to a rally and memorial pageant at Madison Square Garden."--Provided by publisher.
