Hillel Kook arrives in the United States, fresh from the underground resistance to the British in Palestine. Under the alias Peter Bergson, he leads a small group of activists in seeking to rescue Jews threatened with destruction in Europe. Bergson is shocked to find his efforts blocked by the indifference and anti-Semitism in the Roosevelt administration and the fears and timidity of the Jewish establishment. Undaunted, Bergson and his colleagues organize a bold campaign to open the doors of the United States to Jews fleeing Hitler in a desperate race against time. Based on actual events, THE ACCOMPLICES is the true story of one man's fight on American soil to shatter a conspiracy of silence and inaction in the face of genocide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a story that needs to be told, and Weinraub - a longtime \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e reporter - does so with moving clarity. A substantial, punch-packing morality thriller. Don't miss!\"  - Time Out NY. \"A gripping work that illuminates a shameful period in American history. Sharply written.\"  - NY Post. \"THE ACCOMPLICES recalls political drama of the 1930s. As in, say, Clifford Odets' \u003ci\u003eWaiting for Lefty\u003c\/i\u003e. Bernard Weinraub has written a solid piece of agitation propaganda about events of yesteryear.\"  - Variety. \"Deeply affecting. Profoundly disturbing. Ultimately heartbreaking.\"  - NY Newsday. \"Provocative, intelligent and compelling. THE ACCOMPLICES will give you plenty to talk about.\"  - NY Daily News. \"[a] pull-no-punches excoriation of the Roosevelt Administration's reluctance to shelter Eastern European Jews before and during WWIIA fascinating and underreported story.\"  - NY Sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePublisher\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eDramatists Play Service Inc.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFormat\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003ePlay\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBinding\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eISBN\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e9780822222538\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eStock code\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e9780822222538\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn-store pickup available.
