Many believe that American Jews could have done much more than they did to save the Jews of Europe.  However\, recent research documents the clandestine rescue of hundreds of thousands of Jews by the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) and other agencies\, Jewish resistance to German Bund pro-Nazi activities in the U.S.\, and the work of the Overseas News Agency\, the Jewish Labor Committee\, and the World Jewish Congress. This new scholarship\, Professor Sarna argues\, calls for a full-scale re-evaluation of American Jewry’s role in saving Jews and fighting Nazism during the Holocaust years. \nJonathan Sarna is a leading scholar of American Jewish history. His renowned treatise\, American Judaism: A History\, won the Jewish Book Council’s Book of the Year Award in 2004\, and is now available in a 2nd edition. Coming to Terms with America (JPS 2021) is the most recent of his more than thirty books on American Jewish history.  He is a University Professor and the Braun Professor of America Jewish History at Brandeis University. \nGet Jonathan Sarna’s book list here.
