and Reinhold Niebuhr were
exceptions, as were those who
helped the Bergsonite Emer-
gency Committee. Overall,
Jewish intellectuals remained
as uninvolved as non-Jews. To
note one example among
many, Walter Lippmann, a
highly influential news colum-
nist who dealt with practically
every major topic of the day,
wrote nothing about the
Holocaust ...
One reason ordinary Ameri-
cans were not more responsive
to the plight of the European
Jews was that very many
(probably a majority) were un-
aware of Hitler's extermina-
tion program until well into
1944 or later. The information
was not readily available to the
public, because the mass
media treated the systematic
murder of millions of Jews as
though it were minor news.
Most •newspapers printed
very little about the Holocaust,
even though extensive infor-
mation on it reached their
desks from the news services
(AP, UP, and others) and from
their own correspondents. In
New York, the Jewish-owned
Post reported extermination
news and rescue matters fairly
adequately. PM's coverage
was also more complete than
that of most American papers.
The Times, Jewish-owned but
anxious not to be seen as
Jewish-oriented, was the pre-
mier American newspaper of
the era. It printed a substantial
amount of information on
Holocaust-related events but
almost always buried it on
inner pages ... Outside New
York and Washington, press
coverage was even thinner.
These exposures could be suffi-
cient to label the failures as in-
human, and the grouping of reli-
gious and liberal spokespeople as
callous might be sufficient to
brand the lack of compassion as
the major indictment. The entire
comdemnation of indifference
needs to be read and Dr. Wyman's
factual and extensively-
researched work earns apprecia-
tion and high commendation for
remembering the outrages so that
what occurred may never be re-
peated again. The condemnation
of the insensitive in diplomatic,
religious, political and social cir-
cles needs special emphasis in
labeling The Abandonment of
Jews a major contribution to dedi-
cation to truth in dealing with
human values.
