Roosevelt and his involvement with Jewish refugees and the Evian Conference.?

Question

Im writing a paper on President Roosevelt during the holocaust and his involvment with keeping jewish refugees out of Ameica and also his involvment with th evian confrence...So if any one has any good sources about this or any information please help.

Answer 1

Roosevelt called for the conference (Brustein, p. 1; Arad, p. 128).

Answer 2

Franklin Roosevelt, on advise from his advisers that included Joseph Kennedy, Senior, decided to stay away from any contact with this problem including turning away 400 Jewish children that Jewish parents had to send to other countries to save them. The only country that took them was England.

Franklin Roosevelt was said to have believed by those who knew him that he did not want the United States to get the reputation of going into WWII on behalf of the Jews.

When the countries of the world had a conference, Hitler offered to release only professional Jews to any country and they all refused including the USA.

If you go to the library and look up "The Holocaust" you can be privy to way more information.
