FDR and The Holocaust

«In 1923, as a member of Harvard's Board of Overseers, Roosevelt became concerned that, as he put it, "a third of the entering class at Harvard were Jews." He helped institute a quota to limit the number of Jews admitted to 15% of each class. Even many years later, FDR was still proud of doing that–and said so to Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., in 1941.
In 1936, he characterized a tax maneuver by the publisher of the New York Times as "a dirty Jewish trick." In 1938, FDR privately suggested to Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, the era's most prominent American Jewish leader, that Jews in Poland were dominating the economy and were to blame for provoking antisemitism there.  In 1939, Roosevelt expressed (to a U.S. senator) his pride that "there is no Jewish blood in our veins."  In 1940, he dismissed pleas for Jewish refugees as "Jewish wailing" and "sob stuff." In 1941, President Roosevelt remarked at a cabinet meeting that there were too many Jews among federal employees in Oregon.»
