Book Blasts WWII Rabbis
April 28, 2000
By MARK LAVIE, Associated Press Writer
JERUSALEM (AP) - During the Holocaust, ultra-Orthodox
American rabbis focused on saving several hundred Polish
Talmudic scholars, ignoring the suffering of millions of
other Jews who were eventually murdered by the Nazis, a new
book charges.
The rabbis, organized as the Rescue Committee, feared that
if the tiny group of scholars and their students were lost,
the Jewish religion would vanish with them.
The group's narrow goal brought it into conflict with
mainstream American Jewish groups working to rescue as many
Jews as possible and to influence reluctant American
politicians to take action, wrote Holocaust historian and
Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff.
The book, "The Response of Orthodox Jewry in the United
States to the Holocaust," is being released Tuesday to
coincide with Israel's annual memorial day for the 6
million Jews killed in the Nazi Holocaust.
