1. THE WAR AIMS OF FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT (from a speech to Congress on January 6, 1941) “We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world. The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world. The third is freedom from want…everywhere in the world. The fourth is freedom from fear…anywhere in the world.” FDR signs the Lend-Lease Act, March 11, 1941

7. U.S. WAR PROPAGANDA The British and Russian peoples needed little persuasion to fight in World War II, because Germany attacked them. Even after Pearl Harbor, however, the Germans and Japanese posed no immediate threat to the USA…. The Office of War Information issued this directive in early 1942: “Civilians must have the war brought home to them. Every individual must be made to see the immediacy of the danger to him…. He must be made to understand that he is an integral part of the war front, and that if he loses the war, he loses everything.” This goal implied that the victims of the Enemy should be depicted as figures with whom Americans could identify.

22. United Nations Declaration of December 17, 1942 (the LAST official mention of the Holocaust during the war) The Allied governments had received “numerous reports from Europe that the German authorities… are now carrying into effect Hitler’s oft-repeated intention to exterminate the Jewish people in Europe. Jews are being transported in conditions of appalling horror and brutality to Eastern Europe. In Poland… the ghettos established by the German invader are being systematically emptied of all Jews except a few highly skilled workers required for war industries. None of those taken away are ever heard of again. The able-bodied are slowly worked to death in labor camps. The infirm are left to die of exposure and starvation or are deliberately massacred in mass executions. The number of victims of these bloody cruelties is reckoned in many hundreds of thousands of entirely innocent men, women and children.”
