“In his 1984 follow-up book, “The Abandonment of the Jews,” Wyman documented how after Roosevelt’s administration authenticated information that the Nazis were systematically exterminating European Jewry, President Roosevelt did nothing to allow Jewish refugees to enter the U.S.

What’s worse, Roosevelt’s policies succeeded in “piling on extra requirements and bureaucratic obstacles in order to disqualify Jewish refugees who were seeking admission to the United States,” according to Rafael Medoff. In 1933, the year Hitler took power, the existing U.S. quota system permitted 25,957 German citizens to immigrate to the U.S. each year. An unsympathetic White House, an anti-Semitic State Department, a Congress that was largely anti-immigration and a public that was strongly isolationist prior to 1941 all worked to ensure those existing quotas were not filled.

In his new book, “The Jews Should Keep Quiet” (Jewish Publication Society), Medoff documents that, after the Nazi genocidal policy was authenticated, Roosevelt not only refused to take any steps to rescue European Jews, but he continued to suppress legal immigration. During President Roosevelt’s 12 years in office, the German quota was filled in only one year; and, in most of those years, it was less than 25 percent filled.

Medoff’s book also sheds light on Roosevelt’s private prejudices towards Jews. It offers compelling evidence how Roosevelt manipulated Rabbi Stephen Wise and other Jewish leaders to acquiesce in his policy to obstruct opportunities to rescue European Jews”
