Learn History Through Fiction: Lindbergh: Soaring Anti-Semite

Prejudice against Jews was widespread among leading Americans, including aviation hero Charles Lindbergh. In 1941, after his notorious “Who are the war agitators?” speech, which echoed Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda and accused Jews of conspiring to force America into WW2, he was branded a Nazi sympathizer and anti-Semite. History shows America failed to end the war sooner or admit those fleeing Nazi persecution. Read about a German Jewish family who tries to escape to the U.S. in the novel One Person’s Loss.
