2 8.3.7 Quiz: Analyze the Quest for Human Rights пеаа по раззауе.

Pentagon knew, the State Department knew. And the
illustrious occupant of the White House then, who was a

world, going into battle, bringing hundreds and thousands
of valiant and brave soldiers in America to fight fascism, to
fight dictatorship, to fight Hitler. And so many of the young
people fell in battle. And, nevertheless, his image in Jewish
history - I must say it - his image in Jewish history is
flawed.
