to do anything to help these people. So there's a guy that I want to point out here. His name is Breckenridge Long. He was at the time the Assistant Secretary of State in charge of immigration. He was the primary opponent to taking care of …

In 1940, he circulated a memo among his department officials proposing that they delay for an indefinite period of time the number of immigrants allowed into the United States. We can do this by simply advising our consuls to put every obst…

That's actually in a memo. He was not interested in helping anybody leave Germany. As a result of Breckenridge Long's delaying tactic, 90% of the quotas placed for refugees from Hitler and Mussolini's reigns, which would amount to 190,000 p…

Long insisted he was doing everything possible to rescue refugees and that rumors questioning his commitment were untrue. Morgenthau, in his diary, noted, quote, I looked him right in the eye. Well, Breck, as long as you raise the question,…
