...of trading with the enemy and assisting the rise of Nazism. Obviously his dealings were crooked and unpatriotic at the least, treasonable at the worst.

But to blame Prescott for the holocaust is a little off base. Very few, if anyone, knew what was going on with the "final solution." Most Germans didn't even know what was being done, let alone Americans.

Assisting the Nazi party and Hitler in gearing up their war machine is bad enough. Don't muddy the argument by trying to tie Prescott to activiites which history indicates he (and even FDR) had no knowledge of.
