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.
