Well, let's face it. There's no question in my mind that some of
the people over there [U.S. State Department]--whose names are in
my book--were actually just plain anti-Semitic. It's just that
simple. There's no question according to the transcript of Josiah
E. DuBois, Jr., during a tape-recorded interview conducted for the
Harry S. Truman Library, 1973. Blowing the Whistle on Genocide
tells the story of Josiah E. DuBois, Jr., a young treasury
department lawyer who risked his career to alert the world to the
Holocaust. As Nazism rose in Germany, many countries refused to
allow Jewish immigration. The United States, spurred on by the
America First Committee, wanted to remain neutral during the early
days of World War II. Anti-Semitic influences kept the United
States from filling its quotas for refugees, supposedly to keep
Nazi spies out of the country. DuBois exposed the inequities in
America's refugee policy and forced the United States government to
take action to rescue the displaced Jews. Josiah E. DuBois, Jr.,
was a different kind of hero of the Holocaust. He was not a
rescuer, and he did not shelter refugees. He was a whistle-blower
and opened the eyes of the global community to Nazi atrocities.
