In his landmark bestseller The Abandonment of the Jews, David Wyman
exhaustively detailed America’s failure to help rescue the
victims of Nazi genocide. But one man, Peter Bergson, led a
tireless battle against that tide of indifference, making it
impossible for American leaders to plead ignorance of the German
atrocities. Now, Wyman, along with Rafael Medoff, tells for the
first time the story of the man who led America’s most effective
campaign to rescue victims of the Holocaust. A Race Against Death
utilizes extensive firsthand interviews to present Peter
Bergson’s own account of his remarkable life and struggles.
Facing deportation from America and threats on his life, Bergson
employed every conceivable method to influence policy and public
opinion: he personally hounded Congressmen to support a rescue;
placed controversial full-page ads in major newspapers demanding
action; and drew a record crowd of 40,000 to a rally and memorial
pageant at Madison Square Garden. Award-winning historian David
Wyman is the definitive authority on America’s action—and
inaction—during the Holocaust. In A Race Against Death, he and
Rafael Medoff return to this tragic era in American history and
chronicle one of its few heroes.
