Joseph Bomberger’s Affidavit, July 1938

“Facts are that we have to immigrate under

every circumstances and of course I know that

you and your family have not the money to

claim for us. . . . Now I ask you my dear, if it

would be possible for you to get a connection

with any rich man who would be able to give us

an affidavit. I know that will be very difficult but

as I have heard here in U.S.A. there are many

people who want to help us.”

Eleanor Roosevelt visiting Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter, 1944

"I have the feeling that we let our consciences realize too

late the need of standing up against something that we knew

was wrong. We have therefore had to avenge it–-but we did

nothing to prevent it. I hope that in the future, we are going

to remember that there can be no compromise at any point

with the things that we know are wrong.... The most

important thing for us to realize is the great responsibility

that lies upon our shoulders."

-Eleanor Roosevelt, 1946
