March! When the Rabbis Went to Washington

One Wednesday afternoon, in the fall of 1943, something momentous happened.

Take a minute to find out what.

During World War II, the Jews of Europe were in tremendous danger. Anti-Semitic laws were issued, and Jews were attacked and deported. What could be done to save them?

A committee of determined American Jews wanted to bring attention to the tragedy going on in Europe. They decided to hold a major rally. Hundreds of rabbis marched to the White House in Washington, D.C., to try and speak with the president and beg for his help.

March! is a compelling book about a pivotal event in American Jewish history.
