Franklin Delano Roosevelt was running for the 1932 presidential election. Americans were ready for a political change. Roosevelt was elected president during the great depression, dealing with this was just one of many difficult things he underwent as president. Before Roosevelt the government did not cared about the people, and after he came to power he started making the government for the people. While Roosevelt was president he came up with the new deal that was created to alleviate the problems of the great depression. New deal policies focused on three general goals: relief for the needy economic recovery, and financial reforms. On top of the issues happening in the U.S Roosevelt had a mayor problem in Europe, the Holocaust.
Shortly after Hitler took power in Germany, one of his first orders was campaign for racial purity that eventually led to the Holocaust. Jews and other minority groups were send to concentration camps. Prisoners worked from sunrise to sundown with no breaks. Early 1942 Hitler’s top officials agreed to begin a new phase of the mass murder of Jews. Roosevelt had an idea of what has going on in Europe, but he didn't realized to the full extent until it was too late to act. As a result to this million of people all across Europe, more than half of whom were jews, were killed.

Despite the fact that the majority of the posting has nothing to do with the Holocaust, it still does a good job of explaining how Roosevelt's lack of action was partially responsible for some of the death and destruction that occurred during WWII. The only recommendation would be to include even more information about exactly why FDR did nothing to stop the Holocaust. Nice work!
It's funny how you didn't even add what exactly happened in the holocaust and the poeple--it was a little vague. However, good job clariying the role that Roosevelt had with this event and also making the summary informative.
Good summary on the Holocaust. It is unfortunate that FDR was biased during that time.
A picture would have added to the aesthetics.
Nice summery, but I don't understand the connecting of FDR and the Holocaust. It was kinda vague.
