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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eA Race Against Death\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAward-winning historian David Wyman is the definitive authority on America's action--and inaction--during the Holocaust. In \u003ci\u003eA Race Against Death\u003c\/i\u003e, he and Rafael Medoff return to this tragic era in American history and chronicle one of its few heroes.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The New Press","offers":[{"title":"Race Against Death: Peter Bergson, America, and the Holocaust | David S Wyman | Hardcover | 9781565847613 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1780799","offer_id":49948555640984,"sku":"1780799","price":12.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/619551lI1AL.jpg?v=1789795301","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/race-against-death-peter-bergson-america-and-the-holocaust","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
