Cartoonists Against The Holocaust
by Rafael Medoff and Craig Yoe  

During the dark days of the Holocaust, a small number of American political cartoonists used their art to cry out against injustice—and to try to inspire the public to demand the rescue of Hitler’s victims.

Cartoonists Against the Holocaust brings back 150 of these amazing cartoons, together with scores of compelling period photographs that place the cartoons in context. We can see the Nazi genocide and the world’s response as they unfold, through the eyes of some of America’s most famous cartoonists, including the beloved Dr. Seuss, the “Washington Post’s” “Herblock,” and many others including numerous Pulitzer Prize winners. Cartoonists Against the Holocaust is a unique way to learn about the Holocaust—and a journey back in time to an era that we dare not forget.

Forthcoming in 2024.


The Student Struggle Against the Holocaust
by Rafael Medoff and David Golinkin

By the autumn of 1942, there was no more room for doubt: the Germans were carrying out the mass murder of millions of European Jews. In the death camps of Auschwitz and Treblinka, in the ghetto of Warsaw and the ravine of Babi Yar, the slaughter continued, day after day, while the Free World looked away.

Many American Jewish leaders were confused, divided, and afraid that speaking out in protest would be seen as undermining the Allied war effort. American Christian leaders paid scant attention to the most horrific tragedy of modern times. Into this moral vacuum stepped three young rabbinical students. Noah Golinkin, Jerry Lipnick, and Buddy Sachs had no office, no funds, no organizational experience–just an unshakable determination to shatter the silence, before it was too late.  This is their story.

FDR and The Holocaust: A Breach of Faith

FDR and the Holocaust: A Breach of Faith reveals starting new evidence about FDR’s most shameful hour–his willingness to turn a blind eye to the systematic annihilation of six million European Jews.

The Book Hitler Didn’t Want You to Read
Written by Rafael Medoff; illustrated by Dean Motter; edited by Mark Rothman.

The year was 1939. The Nazis were on the march, and the world was teetering on the brink of war, but many Americans preferred to ignore the danger. It was up to Alan Cranston, a young journalist–and future U.S. senator–to stand up against a monstrous dictator and expose the evils of Nazism to the American public.
