Plot

The Jews Were Expendable graphically demonstrates how disbelief, indifference, antisemitism, and, above all, the political expediency of the West doomed a powerless European Jewry to Hitler's "Final Solution." Penkower examines the foremost issues of Holocaust diplomacy and charts the free world's tragic failure to respond decisively to the Holocaust. Grounded in an impressive array of primary sources, the volume is a harsh reminder to the "cancer of bestiality."
