Question

Press: Can you tell us about this wide publication of atrocity

stories? Do you think the publication of them is going to be very
useful?
General Eisenhower: I think I was largely responsible for it, so I
must have thought it was useful. When I found the first camp like
that I think I never was so angry in my life...I think the
people at home ought to know what they are fighting for and the
kind of person they are fighting.
--General Dwight D. Eisenhower, press conference,
June 18, 1945
In this excerpt, General Eisenhower is describing his reaction to --
A the Bataan Death March
B Nazi concentration camps
C Japanese American internment camps
D the bombing of Hiroshima

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Eisenhower was perhaps one of the best presidents of the 20th century. He always acted with dignity and a sense of rightness.

The furthest he got off mainland Europe was North Africa. So that let out all the references to the war in the Pacific.

So don't choose Bataan Death March

Japanese American Internment Camps in America. He was too busy winning Europe back to worry about an inhumane domestic activity.

He was against Hiroshima. His boss chewed him out for that stance.

Eisenhower's outrage was directed against the sight of the Nazi Death camps. Many who had no knowledge of them vomited when the first saw the death camps. I don't think that was Eisenhower's response, but he was very upset by what he saw. Who wouldn't be?
