Did we or did we not refuse Jews onto our shores during the 1930’s?
You don’t need to be holding the oven doors open or shoveling Nazi camp victims into the oven to be partly responsible for the problem.
If America and Canada had allowed Jewish refugee boats onto our shoreline, during this period, we could say that we didn’t contribute to the situation, but we didn’t. That is veritable history, we can’t change it.
As my grandfather repeatedly said, you are either part of the problem or part of the solution. When we refused the Jew boats, were we part of the solution or part of the problem?
We were the solution, we fought a war to end Hitler. Who could have imagined in the ‘30’s what would later be the truth in 1945. You want to argue the point, then argue it from the Germans and their treatment of the Jews, not an ignorant decision by the Roosevelt Administration.
