Buried by The Times: The Holocaust and America's Most Important Newspaper

Our Take
Leff documents the New York Times's systematic downplaying of Holocaust coverage during the war — stories buried inside the paper, the scale of the killing never stated plainly. The owners were Jewish and terrified of appearing to advocate for Jewish interests. The result was that America's most influential newspaper helped create the silence around the greatest crime of the century. Press responsibility as historical catastrophe.
