Rogers joined the Emergency Committee to Save the Jewish People of Europe in 1943. He also introduced a bill called the Rescue Resolution that, if passed, would have established safe havens for Jewish refugees from Europe in nearby neutral countries.
The bill failed to pass, largely due to opposition from President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his administration. Rogers resigned from Congress in 1944 and returned to the US Army as a tank commander. He saw combat and was decorated for bravery during the war.
In 1946 he made an unsuccessful bid for the US Senate. In the late 1940s he left politics to concentrate on show business and entertainment. In his early 80s, Rogers suffered from heart disease and a series of strokes.
