i was trying to remember whenem auschwitz was first opened and it was in 1933 or 1935 or something likethat. the u.s. state department and the u.s. government may have known about it and probably knew about it but obviously never -- no one did interviews so i had to rely on the information of the time which were the documents of the truman administration documents and the documents of newspapers and things like that and that's when auschwitz and the other camps were discovered was in early 1945.ed but it would the a very good book or good article when the united states actually knew about auschwitz and if so why didn't they move to stop an earlier? the was a very worthy topic of discussion.is >> host: your book citizen to making of a reagan conservative came out. >> guest: i would consider him a friend but i don't know p. would consider me a friend. it took three or four years to finish it. he established himself as certainly one of the leading political figures in america today. you have to think long and hard to come up with someone who had as much influence over the national politica
