Delayed Reaction: What FDR Said About the Holocaust

The Bud Shorstein Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Florida invites you to join us for an evening with renowned Holocaust scholar Dr. Richard Breitman, who will discuss President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1944 public statements on Nazi atrocities. What could Roosevelt say as more information became known? What could he not mention? What determined the president’s discourse concerning Nazi mass murder?
In conversation with Dr. Norman JW Goda, the Norman and Irma Braman Professor of Holocaust Studies at UF, the event explores how military, political, and moral pressures shaped the American response to the Holocaust, offering fresh insight into what government leaders knew, when they knew it, and how they chose to act.
