Eisenhower Quote by A.J. Baime
““He urged Washington to organize a group of American journalists to come to Europe to begin documenting these horrors at once. There were still those who claimed “the stories of Nazi brutality were just propaganda,” Eisenhower believed. “I felt that the evidence should be immediately placed before the American and British publics in a fashion that would leave no room for cynical debate.””
