It is a myth that the United States didn't know about the Holocaust until the 1940s. Evidence was reported in the mid-to-late 1930s of what Hitler and the Nazis were doing to the Jews (and to others considered "undesirable); these reports were published in certain newspapers, but they were not widely believed by most Americans at that time. And even when more proof was presented, the US government, for a complex set of reasons, chose not to take decisive action during the 1930s nor even into the early 1940s.

It is still very much up for debate whether President Roosevelt did all that he could to help the Jews of Europe; Roosevelt's supporters have long insisted he did a great deal to help them, both publicly and Behind the Scenes. And it should be noted that no credible evidence has surfaced to link Mr. Roosevelt to the anti-Jewish attitudes of some others in his administration. But on the other hand, there are new books by reputable historians who prove that Mr. Roosevelt could have done much more. One such book, "FDR and the Jews" by

Richard Breitman and Allan J. Lichtman, came out in early 2013.
