In January 1944 President Roosevelt was shown the startling conclusions of a secret memorandum. The title was Acquiescence of this Government in the Murder of the Jews. The untold and shocking story behind this report -- never before described in full -- exposes the appalling apathy and callousness of our Government, particularly the State Department, in the face of Nazi genocide. The report to President Roosevelt finally forced him to take the first steps to rescue the Jews -- but why had it taken the United States so long to act? Here is the documented full story of the most shameful cover-up in American history.
