They Cared: America and the Holocaust

an anthology-in-progress by Pierre Sauvage

Dr. Nahum Goldman

The American Jewish Conference, Proceedings of the Second Session, December 3-5, 1944, Pittsburgh, Pa., edited by Alexander S. Kohanski, Ph.D.  (American Jewish Conference, New York, NY, 1945)

Happy is he whose deeds are more than his learning.
