COPY OF RECENT INQUIRY RE FDR

(To Professor Laud)

Professor:

I enjoyed reading your article. http://www.fdrheritage.org/fdr&holocaust.htm

I have been trying to ascertain whether Roosevelt himself, regarding his Dutch parentage and religious heritage, may have had reasons, analogous, in some ways, to those of Hull, whose wife was Jewish, not to press too heavily on Jewish matters, beyond a certain point.

I read Beschloss' book, and wondered if this might account for the anti Germanism Beschloss ascribes to Roosevelt in The Conquerors.

Very truly yours,
