FDR to TRUMAN – Actions/Inaction Speaks Louder than Words


  • Ina Levine Jewish Community Campus 12701 North Scottsdale Road Scottsdale, AZ, 85254 United States (map)

FDR’s indifference and betrayal contributed to the annihilation of European Jewry. In private Truman shared unflattering private views about Jews. He is fondly remembered, though, for granting recognition to the State of Israel minutes after the state was re-created, but refused to send Israel weapons to defend itself against five invading Arab armies. An eye-opening analysis.
