Product Code:	9780253348623
Description:	Edited by Richard Breitman, Barbara McDonald Stewart, and Severin Hochberg
Product Detail:	A Publication of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Not written for publication, the private diaries of James G. McDonald (1886-1964) show McDonald in the 1930s shuttling back and forth among key political and financial authorities in the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Latin America, and the Vatican. A shrewd observer, McDonald meticulously recorded his extraordinary insights into their thoughts and motives. This invaluable, almost day-to-day record of efforts to help increasingly desperate German Jews seeking refuge will fascinate readers interested in this tragic period and will benefit scholars for generations. This diary, the first of a projected three-volume work, offers a unique and hitherto unknown source on the early history of the Nazi regime and the Roosevelt administration's reactions to Nazi persecution of German Jews. It will significantly revise the ways that scholars and the world view the antecedents of the Holocaust and its aftermath.
