Description:
Auschwitz on the Potomac 1943 is a powerful work of historical investigation that examines Hillel Kook and the controversial, often resisted efforts to rescue European Jews during the Holocaust—and how those efforts intersected with American political power in Washington, D.C. Eliyho Matz brings decades of research together to reveal the bureaucratic indifference, political resistance, and moral failures that shaped the American response to genocide, while also tracing how these efforts helped lay groundwork for the birth of the Israeli nation. Written with urgency and moral clarity, this book challenges conventional Holocaust narratives by focusing on what was known, what could have been done, and who tried to act despite overwhelming opposition. An essential work for readers of Holocaust history, Jewish studies, and twentieth-century political history.
Why We Love This Book / Collector’s Note:
Signed by the author, this volume stands as a serious contribution to Holocaust scholarship and Jewish political history. Copies with author signatures are uncommon, and the book is increasingly sought by collectors focused on Holocaust rescue efforts, Zionist history, and overlooked narratives of World War II. A strong candidate for long-term collectible interest.
