Wyman contends that a substantial commitment to rescue Jewish people on the part of the United States almost certainly could have saved several hundred thousand of the Nazis' victims. This reissued edition contains a new Afterword by Wyman addressing the controversy his work has aroused.

Paper Walls: America and the Refugee Crisis, 1938-1941
“Paper Walls was the first scholarly book to deal with the question of America’s response to the Nazi assault on the European Jews. A revised version of my Ph.D. dissertation at Harvard University, it was originally published in 1968... Those times were very different from these. There was little public receptivity to Holocaust studies then, and only limited academic interest... The scholarly reviews, of which there were several, were favorable. But the general press paid little attention to the book... A pioneer in its field, Paper Walls first established the thesis that three features of American society in the 1930’s and 1940’s were key to understanding the nation’s inadequate r...
The Holocaust and Israel Restored
The chapters in this volume examine facets in the drama of Jewish existence in the tumultuous years of the Twentieth Century and beyond. They include Theodor Herzl as Zionism’s driven prophet; James G. McDonald’s valiant effort to alert the world to the Nazi menace; the darkening shadow of the swastika in the 1930s across the European Continent; the Revisionist-Zionist campaign for a Jewish Army in World War II; a debate on Zionism and Jewish survival after the Shoah; the 1947 legal brief for a Jewish State; Poland’s distortion of the Holocaust; and The Jews Were Expendable – forty years later. Joining extensive archival research and a limpid prose, Professor Monty Noam Penkower again displays a definitive mastery of his craft.
Philippine Sanctuary
During World War II, the United States government and many Western democracies limited or closed themselves off entirely to Jewish refugees. By contrast, a Pacific island nation decided to keep its doors open. Between 1938 and 1941, the Philippine Commonwealth provided safe asylum to more than 1,300 German Jews. In highlighting the efforts by Philippine president Manual Quezon and High Commissioner Paul V. McNutt, Bonnie M. Harris offers fuller implications for our understanding of the Roosevelt administration's response to the Holocaust. This untold history is brought to life by focusing on the incredible journey of synagogue cantor Joseph Cysner. Drawing from oral histories, memoirs, and personal papers, Harris documents Cysner's harrowing escape from the Nazis and his heroic rescue by the American-led Jewish community of the Philippines in 1939. Moving and rich in historical detail, Philippine Sanctuary reveals new insights for an overlooked period in our recent history, and emphasizes the continued importance of humanitarian efforts to aid those being persecuted.
