Looks like Morganthau also stood up for Jews when FDR wouldn’t. He also supported summary execution of nazi war crimminals rather than holding trials.
IMHO, Morgenthau sounds good on WWII in retrospect. However, his plans for post-war Germany would have been (if enacted) a disaster. They would have been completely in Uncle Joe’s hands.
He was one of the few cabinet members who wanted to take a more public stand on Hitler’s extermination of European Jews. That is to his credit.
However, it is unfair to label the opposition to that stand as anti-semitic. (I know you didn’t do that). Roosevelt and Eisenhower were more concerned with winning the war as quickly as possible and did not want to elicit American and European anti-semitism by talking about saving the Jews.
History is more ugly, messy and complex than most of us give credit. It’s so much easier to blame everything on White Colonialism (as in academia) or GW Bush (as in the Obama administration).
