Meeting in Casablanca, Morocco, over several days in January 1943, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt (left), French General Charles de Gaulle (center), and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (right) set strategy for the next phases of the war in Europe. The leaders united in demanding Germany's unconditional surrender as a prerequisite for ending the fighting. British and American representatives were far less decisive a few months later when they met in Hamilton, Bermuda, to address the refugee crisis. There, they took no action to rescue Jews.
