This newspaper contains an inside page, 21" x 12" ad in support of Jews caught in the HOLOCAUST by NAZI GERMANY in WW I...I. This ad also contains a long list of notable people in the US and Great Britain who support the Jews of Europe during the Holocaust.This is an interesting ad to be found in the NY Times, a publication that has been widely criticized for its paucity of coverage of the HOLOCAUST in WW II in the 2005 book "Buried by the Times" by Laurel Leff."Buried by the Times" is a 2005 book by Laurel Leff. It is a book critcal of The New York Times's coverage of Nazi atrocities against Jews that culminated in the Holocaust. It argues that the news was often buried in the back pages in part due to the view about Judaism of the paper's Jewish publisher, Arthur Hays Sulzberger. It also gives a critical look at the work of Times correspondents in Europe.Blame for the lack of coverage: Beside the biases and lack of competence of the European correspondents, Leff "points out the problems with journalistic convention of the time, which preferred reprinting government pronouncements to digging for unknown stories. There was also, of course, a disorganized Jewish community and a Roosevelt administration too preoccupied with the war, both not pushing hard enough for front-page coverage. But the bulk of the blame, in Leff’s telling, falls squarely at the feet of The Times's publisher, Sulzberger."A number of observers have observed how badly informed the American public was about the Nazis' systematic murder of European Jews. Leff points out that the way the Times covered the Holocaust "contributed to the public's ignorance." But in addition to poorly informing the public, "The Times' coverage mattered so much, " she writes, "because other bystanders, particularly the American government, American Jewish groups, and the rest of the American press, took cues from the paper. Among major American newspapers, it was unique in the information it received, how it disseminated the news, and to whom."Very good condition.
