I think that along with the internment of the Japanese-Americans is FDR’s worst legacy.

In the case of the Jews, he felt his hands were tied by his constituents, as Anti-Semitism still had strong currency in America during the 1930’s. Morally wrongly, he decided to leave the Jews to be brutalized (and eventually murdered) in order to appease the bigots in his party.
