Polish-Jewish Relations: 1,300 Keyword-Phrase-Indexed Book Reviews (by Jan Peczkis)

How the Jews Defeated Hitler: Exploding the Myth of Jewish Passivity in the Face of Nazism, by Benjamin Ginsberg. 2013

Jewish Influence Played a Major Role in Re-Shaping American Public Opinion in a Pro-Soviet Direction–and Moreover BEFORE Pearl Harbor. The Yalta Sellout of Poland Was a Consequence

A notable chapter in this book deals with Jewish influence in the USA (notably the media and entertainment industry), and its role in shaping American public opinion in support of the entry of the USA into the war on the side of the USSR. According to surveys of American public opinion, only 35% of respondents favored aid to the USSR, while 54% were opposed. That was in June 1941.

Why so? Americans generally understood Communism as opposed to religion and the church. In addition, many Americans saw little difference between the totalitarian systems of Nazism and Communism.

THE SEA CHANGE IN AMERICAN PUBLIC OPINION

Thanks to energetic work of the FFF (Fight for Freedom), American public opinion underwent a turnaround in only several months. By November 1941, 51% of surveyed American respondents favored aid to the Soviet Union, and only 13% were opposed. (p. 52). Note that this was BEFORE Pearl Harbor.

UNSTATED IMPLICATIONS FOR THE TRIGGERING OF THE HOLOCAUST

In January 1939, Hitler had warned that, were international Jewry to cause another world war, he would destroy Europe’s Jews in retaliation. Now, as we have seen, Jews had played a major role in mobilizing American opinion in a pro-Soviet direction in the latter half of 1941, and this was a prerequisite for the U. S. entry into the war against the Third Reich in December 1941. It now was a world war, and Hitler probably interpreted the decisive prior Jewish influence on American public opinion as fulfillment of the conditions for his warning. The Holocaust was launched.

HARMFUL LONG-TERM EFFECTS ON POLAND AND OTHER CAPTIVE NATIONS

Of course, this turnaround of American public opinion about the Soviet Union had other implications. A more favorable American view of the Soviet Union facilitated the later Churchill-Roosevelt betrayal of Poland at Teheran and Yalta, leading to the enslavement of eastern Europe by the Soviet-imposed Communist puppet states.
