President Franklin Roosevelt revolutionized the use of the radio. He used a series of 31 “fireside chats” to reach into millions of American homes to discuss international and domestic challenges. He believed that an informed nation would make the right choices. Roosevelt rarely spoke directly about Adolf Hitler and never mentioned the persecution of European Jews during these chats.
