Press Reviews
"This is a story that needs to be told, and Weinraub—a longtime New York Times reporter—does so with moving clarity. A substantial, punch-packing morality thriller. Don't miss!“ —Time Out New York. ”A gripping work that illuminates a shameful period in American history. Sharply written.“ —New York Post. ”THE ACCOMPLICES recalls political drama of the 1930s. As in, say, Clifford Odets' Waiting for Lefty. Bernard Weinraub has written a solid piece of agitation propaganda about events of yesteryear.“ —Variety. ”Deeply affecting. Profoundly disturbing. Ultimately heartbreaking.“ —Newsday ”Provocative, intelligent and compelling. THE ACCOMPLICES will give you plenty to talk about.“ —New York Daily News. ”A pull-no-punches excoriation of the Roosevelt Administration's reluctance to shelter Eastern European Jews before and during WWII…A fascinating and underreported story."
