U.S. State Department receives information from Switzerland regarding the Nazi plan to murder the Jews of Europe
In August 1942, the representative of the World Jewish Congress in Switzerland, Gerhart Riegner, heard about a German plan to annihilate the Jews of Europe. His source was a German industrialist with access to top Nazi circles. Riegner immediately took the information to the American consulate in Geneva, where he asked the Vice-Consul Howard Elting Jr. to send the information to Washington and other Allied governments.

Rescuing Jews On Christmas Day
by Dr. Rafael Medoff
A young Treasury Department lawyer would probably rather have spent Christmas Day with his family in 1943. Instead, Josiah E. DuBois, Jr. spent December 25, 1943, trying to rescue Jews from the Holocaust.
DuBois, 30, was chief counsel for the Foreign Funds Control Division of the Treasury Department. In the autumn of 1943, DuBois heard rumors that the State Department was intentionally impeding the rescue of Europe’s Jews from the Nazi slaughterhouse.
DuBois was told that State was holding up a request from Jewish organizations to obtain a government license needed for them to send funds to Europe to help save Jews from Hitler’s "Final Solution." Poring over documents surreptitiously provided to him by a friend within the State Department, DuBois and several of his colleagues --all of them Christians-- discovered the shocking truth about the State Department and the Holocaust. Senior State Department officials had been deliberately obstructing opportunities to rescue Jews, blocking the transmission of Holocaust-related information to the United States, and trying to cover up evidence of their actions. DuBois was stunned by the realization that a major U.S. government agency was engaged in such outrageous behavior.
