Morgenthau was involved in the Vrba-Wetzler report on the Holocaust and drew up the harsh Morgenthau Plan for post-war Germany. See the articles on these topics.
An influential associate of Morgenthau was the jewish Treasury official Harry Dexter White (original surname Weit), a major Communist infiltrator, accused of having caused large-scale harm on a wide range of issues.
After the war, Morgenthau devoted the remainder of his life to working with jewish philanthropies and also became a financial advisor to Israel.
