>>>>But Britain - who of all countries could have cut the best deal with the Germans ( and who had some very prominent citizens who wanted to do just that ) - decided there really was something worth fighting for. And fire wardens stood on the dome of St Paul's in the Blitz and pilots too young to shave went up again and again and children were evacuated to the country and little boats went to Dunkirk. At at Bletchley Park a bunch of nerds learned how an English gentleman could read other people's mail.

>>>And, to add one more, thousands of Brits (both Jews and Gentiles) opened their home to immigrant Jewish children, thus saving their lives.

>>Amen. But the painful episodes like the SS StLouis, the SS Navemar, and the SS Struma remind us of how much more could have been done. For me the lesson there is that people who do not encourage evil should still never find evil so unimaginable that they cannot recognize it or think it can be combatted by denying it. No one wanted to believe what was happening.

>I read a fascinating book within the last year about an episode I hadn't heard about--the establishment of a refugee camp in upstate New York. The book is called Haven, and the author is Ruth Gruber, who is a journalist and was involved in making the camp happen. I actually picked the book up in a museum in Krakow last summer and shlepped it back. Definitely worth a read for both the story it tells (and it turns out that one of the refugees in this group worked with my dad, at one point) and for the insights into what was going on in Washington.
