The three biggest events where FDR demonstrated he didn’t give a fig about the Jews were:
1, the conferences on the Jewish refugee question held in 1938 in Evian, France, and Bermuda in 1943. In both cases it was unanimously agreed that something needed to be done but no one (America included) volunteered to be the one to do the something.
And this was at a time when Hitler was publicly stating that he wouldn’t interfere if a foreign country would take the Jews off his hands and grant them asylum elsewhere. In other words, it was opportunity to save all the 6 million who were murdered, but no on cared enough to put forth the effort.
2, The 1939 voyage of the SS St Louis, AKA “The Voyage of the Damned,” a chartered passenger liner carrying some 937 German Jewish refugees. Most were refused entry at Havana harbor so the ship proceeded to sail up the east coast of America, but FDR ordered the Coast Guard to deny the St Lewis entry into US waters.
Finding no entry into either the US or Canada, the St Louis eventually returned to Europe and roughly a third of its Jewish passengers ended up dying at the hands of the NAZIs.
Thank you, FDR.
Yes,
Also, there were escapees from the concentration camps who told the west what was taking place. So sending back the ship led to hardly surprising results.
