The famed American pilot Charles A. Lindbergh (left) testifies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Enamored with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi movement, Lindbergh opposed the Lend-Lease Bill, which would have extended military aid to Great Britain. In a speech in Iowa in September 1941, Lindbergh said Anglophiles and Jews were trying to pressure the U.S. into war. Before Pearl Harbor was bombed, the antiwar movement in the United States had many supporters.

The sign reads: "Plague Area: Only Through Passage Is Allowed." This sign at the entrance to the Warsaw Ghetto kept curious onlookers from getting a close look at the horrible conditions within the ghetto. While Polish gentiles living in Warsaw were aware that Jews were confined to an area smaller than two square miles, the Nazis went to great lengths to hide the reality of life behind the walls.

Three Dutch Jews, arrested for the murder of a Dutch Nazi named Koot, are forced to pose with their weapons in front of an Amsterdam police station on February 11, 1941. After the Germans occupied the Netherlands in May 1940, the Resistance movement to which these Jews belonged waged a valiant but ultimately unsuccessful campaign against the Nazi oppressors.

Nazi sympathizers in Oslo, Norway, stand beneath a banner that reads, "With Quisling for Norway." As leader of the homegrown collaborationist movement, Vidkun Quisling worked closely with the Nazis following the defeat of Norway in the spring of 1940. In a radio broadcast in April, he announced that he was the prime minister of the new government, though the Nazis soon removed him from that post.
