POLITICO: Morgenthau Excerpt is the Friday Read
This week’s Friday Read at POLITICO features an excerpt from Morgenthau.
“On June 19, 1939, over lunch at the White House, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr. attempted something he was loathe to do: He prodded his best friend. ‘A year has passed,’ he told Franklin D. Roosevelt, ‘and we have not got anywhere on this Jewish refugee thing. What are we going to do about it?’”
