Audible Editor Reviews
Steven Cooper's eloquent, authoritative reading of Robert Beir's book
suits the gravity of the subject matter at hand: the role the FDR administratio-
n played in the Holocaust and whether or not it could have done more
to prevent the slaughter of millions.
Books about such sensitive and weighty topics can easily come off as
heavy-handed or ponderous, but Cooper's lively and skillful delivery
makes this an engrossing listen from beginning to end.
Though not everyone may agree with his conclusions, Beir's thoroughly
researched, thought-provoking work should be required listening for
anyone with even a fleeting interest in WWII history.
Publisher's Summary
There is a great debate among historians about Franklin Delano Roosevelt's
actions during the Holocaust. Was FDR the hero that defeated the Germans,
or did he turn a blind eye to the plight of the Jews as long as he possibly
could? In Roosevelt and the Holocaust, Robert Beir analyzes specific
actions and legislation to get at the truth behind Roosevelt's role
in the Holocaust. Beir has a unique perspective. He is a Jew who was
raised during the extreme anti-Semitism of the Great Depression. Having
witnessed the fruits of the New Deal firsthand, Beir became a Roosevelt
scholar. It wasn't until later in life, when confronted by a student
about Roosevelt's role in the Holocaust, that Beir began to research
this topic intensely. Beir ultimately concludes that Roosevelt acted
not out of anti-Semitism, nor out of moral outrage over the plight of
the Jews. Rather he acted in the way he felt was best to navigate the
United States and the world through this tumultuous time.
