The history of LBJ's efforts to save Jews from the Holocaust first appeared in an article in the Jerusalem Post by Lenny Ben-David.
Recently, the article has appeared online without Ben-David's byline and with a non-sourced addition claiming that Lyndon Johnson's mother and grandmother were Jewish.
This claim was not part of Ben-David's article, and the author says he has no information to substantiate the claim. Indeed, it appears in other articles published by anti-Semites who push the canard of an international Jewish conspiracy.
In recognition of Lyndon Johnson's efforts to save European Jewry as Hitler's noose tightened around their necks in the 1930s.
We invite scholars and survivors to submit historical accounts of LBJ's actions. We will present the data to Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial with the recommendation that they officially recognize LBJ as a Righteous Gentile.
Lyndon B. Johnson
1908 -1973
