The position of the Holy See was deplorable but it was an offense of omission rather than commission. The Church, under the Pope’s guidance, had already saved the lives of more Jews than all other churches, religious institutions, and rescue organizations combined, and was presently hiding thousands of Jews in monasteries, convents, and Vatican City itself. The record of the Allies was far more shameful. The British and Americans, despite lofty pronouncements, had not only avoided taking any meaningful action but gave sanctuary to few persecuted Jews. The Moscow Declaration of that year-signed by Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin-methodically listed Hitler’s victims as Polish, Italian, French, Dutch, Belgian, Norwegian, Soviet, and Cretan. The curious omission of Jews (a policy emulated by the U.S. Office of War Information) was protested vehemently but uselessly by the World Jewish Congress. By the simple expedient of Converting the Jews of Poland into Poles, and so on, the Final Solution was lost in the Big Three’s general classification of Nazi terrorism. Contrasting with their reluctance to face the issue of systematic Jewish extermination was the forthrightness and courage of the Danes, who defied German occupation by transporting to Sweden almost every one of their 6,500 Jews; of the Finns, allies of Hitler, who saved all but four of their 4,000 Jews; and of the Japanese, another ally, who provided refuge in Manchuria for some 5,000 wandering European Jews in recognition of financial and given by the Jewish firm of Kuhn, Loeb ﹠ Company during the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905. 1. “We, Our,” and “Us” in the first paragraph refer to a. Pius Ⅻ himself. b. Pious Ⅻ and the College of Cardinals. c. an unknown group. d. something that cannot be determined by the text. 2. “The Allies” refers to a. Britain, the soviet union, and the U.S.A. b. the Polish, Italians, etc. c. the Jews. d. something that cannot be determined by the text. 3. The actions of the British and the Americans, as contrasted to the actions of the Church, may be illustrated by which of the following? a. There’s many a slip ‘twixt the cup and the lip. b. A stitch in time saves nine. c. All say and no do. d. What goes around comes around. 4. The U.S. Office of War Information a. eschewed the policy mentioned. b. emasculated the policy mentioned. c. aped the policy mentioned. d. did none of the above. 5. “The final Solution” refers to a. the extermination of the Jews. b. the answer to the problem of war in general. c. a mathematical problem. d. none of the above. 6. “Their” in paragraph 3, line 1, refers to the a. Jews. b. “Poles, and so on.” c. Big Three. D. Danes. 2.] Between the invention of agriculture and the commercial revolution that marked the end of the middle ages, wealth and technology developed slowly indeed. Medieval historians tell of the centuries it took for key inventions like the watermill or the heavy plow to diffuse across the landscape. During this period, increases in technology led to increases in the population, with little if any appearing as an improvement in the median standard of living. Even the first century of the industrial revolution produced more “improvements” than “revolutions” in standards of living. With the railroad and the spinning and weaving of textiles as important exceptions, most innovations of that period were innovations in how goods were produced and transported, and in new kinds of capital, but not in consumer goods. Standards of living improved, but styles of life remained much the same. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw a faster and different kind of change. For the first time, technological capability outran population growth and natural resource scarcity. By the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the typical inhabitant of the leading economies-a Briton, a Belgian, an American, or an Australian-had perhaps three times the standard of living of someone in a preindustrial economy. Still, so slow was the pace of change that people, or at least aristocratic intellectuals, could think of their predecessors of some two thousand years before as effectively their contemporaries. Marcus Tullius Cicero, a Roman aristocrat and politician, might have felt more or less at home in the company of Thomas Jefferson. The plows were better in Jefferson’s time. Sailing ships were much improved. However, these might have been insufficient to create a sense of a qualitative change in the order of life for the elite. Moreover, being a slave of Jefferson was probably a lot like being a slave of Cicero. So slow was the pace of change that intellectuals in the early nineteenth century debated whether the industrial revolution was worthwhile, whether it was an improvement or a degeneration in the standard of living. Opinions were genuinely divided, with as optimistic a liberal as John Stuart Mill coming down on the “pessimist” side as late as the end of the 1840s. In the twentieth century, however, standards of living exploded. In the twentieth century, the magnitude of the growth in material wealth has been so great as to make it nearly impossible to measure. Consider a sample of consumer goods available through Montgomery Ward in 1895-when a one-speed bicycle cost ﹩65. Since then, the price of a bicycle measured in “nominal” dollars
