FDR and Bush 43

That didn't help the ones sent to Auschwitz.

Were those men killed?

Some died there. Many were rescued by the German air force. Some were
rescued by the German air force only to die later on the death marches
of April 1945.

The case I know of was not a Jew. He was caught by the Gestapo while
on the run in France (not an escapee but a downed airman) and was sent
by the usual cattle car to the east. He didn't specify whether any of
the Americans he fell in with at Auswitz were Jews, but then he
wouldn't have; that was the least important thing about them at that
point.

You don't have to die to be brutalized beyond imagination, as any
survivor of Auschwitz (and there were many) can testify, or any
survivor of a Japanese camp.

all the best -- Dan Ford
