Columbia's former president Dwight Eisenhower warned the world would forget WWII horrors against Jews
Fox News
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, four-star general, spent 5 years as president of Columbia University, 1948-1953. Yet many appear to have forgotten his WWII-era warnings about rampant antisemitism.
Also mentored a then-future president, Ronald Reagan, on everything from national security to running for higher office. "The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick." Columbia, and other schools around the nation, as well as city streets, have been overtaken by calls for Israel’s destruction since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attacks. "Eisenhower foresaw a day when the horrors of the Holocaust might be denied." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Ike also served for five years as president of Columbia University.
