Gollancz publicised the anti-Semitism of the Nazi regime early on ; in 1933 he had published the compilation volume '' The Little Brown Book of the Hitler Terror '' and Fritz Seidler 's book on the Nazi persecution of the Jews '' The Bloodless Pogrom '' in 1934 . In the summer of 1942 Gollancz came to realise that he and the rest of the world had been seriously underestimating the horrific extent of the Nazi persecution of the Jews . He explained in his 16,000 word pamphlet '' Let My People Go '' , written over Christmas 1942 , that between one and two million Jews had already been murdered in Nazi-controlled Europe and " unless something effective is done , within a very few months these six million Jews will all be dead . " Gollancz proposed a series of practical responses , centred around a rescue plan , and undertook a lecture and fundraising tour ; he was also made Vice-President of Eleanor Rathbone 's '' National Committee for Rescue from Nazi Terror '' . Published early in the new year of 1943 , the pamphlet sold a quarter of a million copies within three months and was quoted in the Parliament of Canada in 1943 , and in '' The Adelaide Advertiser '' on Saturday 15 May 1943 . Along with Rathbone , Gollancz was the foremost British campaigner during the Second World War on the issue of the Nazi extermination of European Jewry
