Arguing that the possible rescue of the Jewish people has been consistently misrepresented, Rubinstein (history, U. of Wales-Aberystwyth, Great Britain) states that nothing the Western Allies could have done, given what they knew and what had actually been proposed at the time, could have saved any of the Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust. He examines refugee policies, proposed plans for rescue, the activities of the War Refugee Board, and the possibilities of negotiation with the Nazis, and contends that all of the arguments regarding these issues have been error.
