Description
Auschwitz and the Allies by Martin Gilbert In 1942, Hitler's infamous declaration that the result of the war in Europe would be 'the complete annihilation of the Jews' was made to a large crowd in Berlin. Yet, despite this public statement, the Allies failed to take action. The Allies were aware of Auschwitz, but their efforts to investigate and act against it were hindered by a combination of factors. In 1944, Allied reconnaissance pilots took photographs of the camp, which were filed away without being examined until much later. Meanwhile, reports from escaped prisoners and others who had witnessed the horrors of the death camps reached the West in 1944. This book explores the reasons behind the Allies' failure to act against Auschwitz during World War II.
