Best Answer

In 1944 the Roosevelt administration set up the War Refugee Board (WRB).

It was given an annual budget of exactly US$ 1 million. Even allowing for inflation, that was very little indeed. However, various charities and individuals provided extra money.

The role of the WRB was mainly to set up 'safe havens' for Jews, where that was practical - for example, later in the war in Budapest and some other places.

When did Franklin D. Roosevelt become president of the US?

FDR became President in 1933-1945: Adolf Hitler came to power the same year as Franklin D Roosevelt... The truth about FDR was hidden from the American public, FDR was a bigot and racist's Adolf Hitler was exterminating the Jews, there were 6,000 Jews that escaped Adolf Hitler's persecution and came to America, mostly Jewish children... But Franklin D Roosevelt sent these 6,000 Jews back to Hitler and Hitler exterminated all 6,000 including 6 million more...FDR knew of Adolf Hitler's persecution of the Jews and Christians and said nothing to the American public, Democrats also owned the media back then...
