| dc.description.abstract | Reliable information about the progress of the Holocaust was not readily available before the end of the Second World War. It has been argued that the Allies could not have saved more Jews under the given circumstances. The analysis of two important first-hand reports of 1942 and 1944 suggest, however, a different interpretation. These reports were dramatic in their impact and instrumental in bringing about rescue efforts. If these documents had not been subject to restrictions and delays in reaching a wide readership, they could have been even more effective in mobilizing public opinion in support of rescue missions. | |
