Truman wrote in a 1947 diary that was recently discovered on the shelves of the Truman Library in Independence, Mo., and released by the National Archives yesterday.

Written sporadically during a turbulent year of Truman’s presidency, the diary contains about 5,500 words on topics ranging from the death of his mother to comic banter with a British aristocrat. But the most surprising comments were Truman’s remarks on Jews, written

on July 21, 1947, after the president had a conversation with Henry Morganthau [ sic. Morgenthau ], his Jewish treasury secretary. Morganthau called to talk about a Jewish ship in Palestine — possibly the Exodus, the legendary ship carrying 4,500 Jewish refugees who were refused entry into Palestine by the British, then rulers of that land.

David Irving comments: YES, I knew about Truman’s disregard for the Jews although I confess that I too did not find this diary, when I researched in his library. “I gave them the state they asked for,” he said, commenting on their ingratitude, in another document that I did read, “but they’re all still here.” One by one the inner thoughts of the world’s great and goodly people about their Jewish fellow-humans are revealed, as the archives disgorge their cruel secrets.

Those who attended my Libel action against Deborah Lipstadt , where the defence lawyers (but not Lipstadt herself) accused me of anti-semitism, will recall that I invited their expert witness Prof Richard “Skunky” Evans to read (to himself) certain passages of the diaries of well-known statesmen, which I put to him while in the witness box, and I would then ask him questions.

I was going to ask if these were not statesmen of the utmost esteem and respectability; and whether he did not agree that their private comments on the Jews far exceeded any statement that I might have made. Mr Justice Gray panicked, and refused to allow him to answer. There’s Justice for ya. Related files on this websites:
