In the garden of beasts by Eric Larson

In the garden of beasts by Eric Larson

Cordell Hull Secretary of State for Franklin Roosevelt
Boycott of German goods might decrease Germany's incentive to pay the banks it's debt and might increase the persecution of the German Jews.

Ron Chernow. "The Warburgs"

Unemployment and the Depression made it difficult for the Jews to immigrate to the United States.

LPC = "Likely to become a public charge."

Carr and Phillips ... Under-secretaries of state and anti-semites.

Dachau ... Originally held enemies of the state for protective custody.
Reminds me of Guantanemo Bay and the Patriot Act inacted after 9/11.

Christopher Isherwood "Berlin Stories" and "Goodbye to Berlin"
