Author Insists 'New York Times' Buried the Shoah in Its Back Pages
On a relatively slow news day for war time, the front page of The New York Times contained stories about the Allied army holding off the Germans in Italy and the Soviet army taking back territories once captured by the Third Reich. On the next couple of pages, articles highlighted West Point's undefeated basketball season and falling prices in the stock market. On Page 4 - amid 13 other stories - was a five-paragraph item about Jews in a Polish town who predicted that their dwindling population would go from 250,000 to 50,000 in just a few weeks if someone didn't stop the murderous Nazi rampage.
" 'In our last moment before death, the remnants of Polish Jewry appeals for help from the whole world. May this, perhaps our last voice from the abyss, reach the ears of the whole world,' " read Laurel Leff, author of Buried by the Times: The Holocaust and America's Most Important Newspaper, quoting from that 1944 report to a crowd of about 80 people at Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel on Jan. 25. "The journalists at The New York Times did not respond to that anguished cry."
