タイトル: Dear Miss Perkins: A Story of Frances Perkins's Efforts to Aid Refugees from Nazi Germany著者: Rebecca Brenner Graham出版社: Citadel出版日: 2025年01月21日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。A fascinating portrait of the progressive female trailblazer and US Secretary for Labor who navigated the foreboding rise of Nazism in her battle to make America a safer place for refugees. She was the first woman to serve in a presidential cabinet, the longest-serving Labor Secretary, and an architect of the New Deal. Yet beyond these celebrated accomplishments there is another dimension to Frances Perkins's story. Without fanfare, and despite powerful opposition, Perkins helped save the lives of countless Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. "Immigration problems usually have to be decided in a few days. They involve human lives. There can be no delaying," Perkins wrote in her memoir, The Roosevelt I Knew. In March 1933, at the height of the Great Depression, Perkins was appointed Secretary of Labor by FDR. As Hitler rose to power, thousands of German-Jewish refugees and their loved ones reached out to the INS--then part of the Department of Labor--applying for immigration to the United States, writing letters that began "Dear Miss Perkins . . ." Perkins's early experiences working in Chicago's famed Hull House and as a firsthand witness to the horrific Triangle Shirtwaist fire shaped her determination to advocate for immigrants and refugees. As Secretary of Labor, she wrestled widespread antisemitism and isolationism, finding creative ways to work around quotas and restrictive immigration laws. Diligent, resilient, empathetic, yet steadfast, she persisted on behalf of the desperate when others refused to act. Based on extensive research, including thousands of letters housed in the National Archives, Dear Miss Perkins adds new dimension to an already extraordinary life story, revealing at last how one woman tried to steer the nation to a better, more righteous course.当店利用時のご注意・当店の商品は原則として、「個人輸入」としての取り扱いになり、アメリカ合衆国から直接お客様のもとへお届けいたします。商品の配送手続きのために、アメリカ合衆国の事業者へお客様の注文情報が提供されます。注文情報の提供について同意いただいた上でご注文ください。アメリカ合衆国の個人情報保護法制等について確認する場合は、こちらのページ「https://corp.rakuten.co.jp/privacy/data-transfers.html」をご参照ください。・関税・輸入消費税が課税される場合があります。・課税額はご注文時には確定しておらず、通関時に確定しますので、商品の受け取り時に着払いでお支払いください。・個人輸入される商品は、全てご注文者自身の「個人使用・個人消費(日本に居住する者に寄贈される物で、当該寄贈を受ける者の個人的な使用に供される場合を含みます。)」が前提となります。第三者への譲渡・転売が法令で禁止されるもの(医薬品、医薬部外品、化粧品等を含みますが、これに限られません。)もございますのでご注意下さい。・商品お届けまでに、10日間程度かかります。
