How American Anti-Semitism Helped the Nazis

A new PBS series by Ken Burns argues xenophobia, the Great Depression, incredulity toward the media, and State Department antisemitism combined to keep Jewish refugees out of America.
reason.com/vid...
Two-thirds of European Jews were killed by the Nazis during World War II in a systematic, relentless process that still exceeds our ability to comprehend its origins and consequences. The Final Solution, which was the Nazi plan to exterminate all European Jews, wasn't implemented until 1942, but Hitler's government had begun openly dehumanizing, harassing, and attacking Jews upon taking power nine years earlier.
Even when the Nazi death machine kicked into high gear, America kept its doors mostly closed to Jews, as filmmakers Ken Burns, Lynn Novick, and Sarah Botstein recount in The U.S. and the Holocaust, a new three-part documentary series on PBS.
Some lobbied to open the country to refugees in the run-up to war, but anti-immigration legislation, the economic devastation of the Depression, incredulity toward a press that had trafficked in false atrocity accounts during World War I, and deep-seated antisemitism, especially in Franklin Roosevelt's State Department, combined to thwart those efforts.
Reason talked with Burns and Novick about why a nation of immigrants remains so deeply ambivalent about newcomers and the lessons that 21st-century America should draw from our country's response in the lead-up to the Holocaust.

Compare America and Albania. Albania was the only country occupied by Nazis that increased their Jewish population during the war. The local authorities refused to hand over the names of Jewish residents to the Nazis. When refugees arrived from across Europe, the local population got them to safety in their own homes throughout the countryside. They were concealed for months or years by adopting local names and being incorporated into host families. This experience laid the foundations for enduring bonds of friendship and family. In the entire war, only one family was discovered, and a total of 5 Jewish lives were lost. Albania is a majority Muslim multi-faith society, and practices the tradition of Besa, which is a code of honour where protection is granted to anyone who knocks on your door. Besa means keeping your promise, and not betraying or abandoning anyone. Albanians promised the Jews they would be protected, and so they were.

When Ken Burns was asked about America's opinion of the Irish as a comparison to the Jews (as migrants) he rather brushed it off. So let's not forget that during the Potato Famine the thousands of Irish who were encouraged to migrate to the USA by the English were refused entry. It was Tammany Hall, the Boston Irish from earlier migrations who led the parade to refuse their entry. That is a huge story in itself and Ken Burns may want to look into it. Most of the later migrates as a result of the Potato Famine went on to Canada via the St. Lawrence River, landing in Quebec City and Montreal where many were quarantined and died of small pox both at sea and in quarantine. Small children became parentless and wandered the streets of these cities for months, some dying of starvation or freezing to death. Ken may want to read a book entitled, "The Great Hunger" as a starting point.

[@mattyey]

Yeh bro, I’m Australian (but Irish ancestry on both sides). The famine was horrible, the persecution of our ancestors was horrible… the coffin ships etc. which is why I am more sensitive in regard to the holocaust. People should never forget about the potato Famine, Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust. Father Charles Coughlin (Irish Catholic) was spreading Jew hatred for so long and eventually Irish Catholic activists teamed up with Jewish organisations in 39 and 40 to shut that bigot down. I am of that school, I hate seeing my Jewish brothers and sisters (in humanity) targeted and the story of Father Coughlin fading into oblivion is one of the great success stories in US culture at that time (because Irish anti-semitism was rampant back then, but barely seen in the US today). Irelands fierce anti-Zionism right now is based off tribalism alone, and although it pisses me off… that is their issue lol.. I seperate myself from that. I am a strong supporter of the Jewish state

[@miss0petersburg]

It’s not about how many people died where. Or children freezing or starving. Hate against the Jews has existed for thousands of years. This was intentional genocide of an entire race from an entire CONTINENT. Freezing babies? They shot mothers while they held their babies so that the bullet would go through the mother to the baby so that they can save ammunition. They gassed hundreds of people at a time by tricking them to think those were showers. Women men elderly children suffocating to death screaming on top of each other. They build special industrial ovens to cremate as many bodies as possible. They even supported their economy by using body parts of the dead for different products to support the war. They used skin to make lamp shades, they shrunk human heads to make paperweight…. I would tell you to go to the Holocaust museum in DC but not everybody can handle knowing the truth. Famines and plagues have unfortunately existed. It’s not human made but this is first time in history that the genocide was on the industrial scale. If Russia didn’t win that war which Hitler came very close to winning. The world would be ran by Nazis right now. Y’all just don’t know

Nazi-Occupied Norway Offers a Glimpse of What Hitler Wanted for the Entire World The German occupation of Norway from 1940 to 1945 witnessed a remarkable building campaign to align this northern land with Hitler’s New Order. From gleaming highways and ideal cities to maternity centers for a purified Nordic race, plans to remake Norway into a model “Aryan” society fired the imagination of Nazi leaders. These projects have a great deal to tell us about how Hitler and his henchmen envisioned the world under the swastika, which they had begun to construct in Norway. As the Greater German Reich expanded and stretched beyond the Arctic Circle, the Nazis wasted no time leaving their mark on the new territories. Their efforts to reshape occupied Norway, including everyday spaces where people lived and worked, give us a preview of the deeply ideological environments Hitler foresaw emerging in the wake of his ultimate victory, even in those nations he considered potential allies. The Nazis believed that Norwegians were racially (although not culturally) superior to Germans, and Hitler hoped to win them over to his worldview. Rather than deploy the policies of mass extermination and slave labor used in Eastern Europe, he courted them using propaganda and incentives. With ambitious architecture and infrastructure projects, Hitler sought to literally and figuratively build bridges to Norway’s citizens, bringing them into the fold of his Greater German Reich. Yet despite claims made by the occupiers that Norwegians and Germans shared a special bond as Nordic brothers, Hitler’s construction schemes expose a deeply colonial mindset. Within months of the April 1940 invasion, the Nazis had begun to develop sweeping plans for the transformation of Norway’s towns and landscapes. They viewed these changes to the physical environment as preconditions for the incorporation of Norwegians into the Greater German Reich and, importantly, also for the long-term presence of German rulers in this northern land. The Nazis had no intention of withdrawing, even as they publicly promised the Norwegians that the occupation was only a temporary measure to “protect” them from British aggression. New Trondheim was the most grandiose of the projects, an entirely new city for Germans that Hitler commissioned Albert Speer to design on the Trondheim Fjord, which was also the intended site of a vast new German naval base. Hitler imagined New Trondheim as the German cultural hub of the north, and thus “fabulously built,” as he told Joseph Goebbels, with a German art museum and opera house as well as other luxurious amenities. Among the attractions of this location was the neighboring city of Trondheim and its association with the Vikings, a legacy the Germans wanted to appropriate for themselves. Knowledge about the new city and naval base was tightly controlled to avoid provoking the Norwegian resistance. The Nazis’ desire to create ideal urban environments in occupied Norway-whether for the German rulers or the occupied Norwegians-underscores the importance of town planning for Hitler and his architects, who treated urban spaces as stage sets for the performance of the Volksgemeinschaft, the racial community. Even before seizing power, Hitler had begun to sketch out the architectural foundations for a new Germany, which later also shaped his ideas of empire building. The Germans invested considerable resources to create physical environments that would support a new social order in occupied Norway. Although the occupiers did plan monumental projects, their broader strategy for intervening in Norwegian towns focused more on coopting existing environments rather than on erecting edifices that stood apart from their sites. We see this clearly in the reconstruction schemes for 23 Norwegian towns damaged in the 1940 invasion. Albert Speer oversaw the Norwegian architects tasked with rebuilding, who were expected to produce designs in accordance with town-planning principles developed in Nazi Germany. As in Germany, Speer favored neoclassical styles for public structures, including those meant to house new Nazi institutions, but he also accommodated Norwegian ideas of placemaking. Above all, the power of racial ideology in these reconstructed Norwegian towns derived from Nazi values becoming embedded into everyday spaces and everyday lives. Even as Hitler reassured Vidkun Quisling, the head of Norway’s puppet government, that Norway would soon regain her independence, the Germans settled in for the long term. Beyond the cultural metropolis envisioned for themselves on the Trondheim Fjord, the creation of other exclusive German spaces indicates the occupiers’ attention to their own needs as rulers. Among these projects were the Soldatenheime, cultural and recreational centers that Hitler commissioned for the 400,000 German troops stationed in Norway. Generously designed and furnished, with theaters that showed German films, restaurants that served German food and walls that were decorated with German art, the Soldatenheime represented self-contained German worlds that reinforced the troops’ national identity in a foreign land. If the German occupiers, despite their ideology of Nordic brotherhood, kept themselves spatially and culturally apart as rulers, they promoted fraternization of another sort. Occupied Norway became a locus of the Lebensborn program, initiated in Germany by SS leader Heinrich Himmler in 1935 to encourage the birth of Aryan babies. Intending to harvest the Norwegians’ supposedly superior genes to improve the racial health of the German population, the Nazis established more maternity centers in Norway than in any other country, including Germany. Treating these children like other natural resources in Norway that could benefit the Fatherland, the Nazis devised a pipeline that sent hundreds of babies from Norway to Germany during the war years. When we look to Norway, we see not only the Nazis’ self-serving ideals of Nordic brotherhood taking form, but also, more broadly, how they envisioned their relationship to the conquered regions-especially the North, a place both physical and mystical to them. The Nazis considered the invasion of Norway to be a homecoming: they claimed that Germans had originated in the North and were finally returning, making the land their own again. Building was central to their strategy of dominance and re-appropriation. For all these reasons, the occupying Nazis invested enormous resources in the effort to remodel Norway. Ultimately, that transformation was in the service of their imagined Aryan empire and their role as its masters. That empire, thankfully, never came to be-but in these northern building blocks lies a striking clue as to the depth of Nazi desire to create total worlds. 👇🫵 bookshop.org/p/books/hitler-s-northern-utopia-building-the-new-order-in-occupied-norway-despina-stratigakos/14461796 While Norwegian babies flowed southward, Germans moved northward. Among other infrastructure projects, Hitler commissioned a superhighway that would have stretched from Trondheim to Berlin. Such transportation systems would have tethered the peripheries of Hitler’s European empire to its center, Berlin. The superhighway to Trondheim was also designed to encourage German tourists, driving their Volkswagens, to familiarize themselves with the northern reaches of their empire. Hitler believed that, in the wake of his victorious armies, this type of road travel would help Germans identify with the new territories of the Greater German Reich, preparing them to fight to retain them in the future.

I find it amazing that so many ppl reject any discussion of the issues.

It's in their written laws available from German museum sources. I even cited some examples. I would never argue that those requirements, nor any maltreatment of those who don't comply, is moral or decent. The moderator insisted the I was wrong, that NAZIs were cartoonishly evil, and I was asked to leave the forum. There was certainly something very very wrong with Germany in that era, and also but a lot less the US that didn't offer refuge to SS St.Louis. No - entire nations did NOT go insane.

yes it does...its kind of a hatchet job on FDR...basically its trying to blame US southern Jim Crow for the Holocaust...which is an ignorant conclusion...anti semitism in Europe was alive and well for a thousand yrs...hence the Pogroms that have happened for before the US was even a country its typical of US revisionist history today...combining truth with false conclusions to somehow blame American History for the worlds ills

[@jfournerat1274]

Well some people believe that FDR was anti semtic himself due to how he did little to help Jewish refugees escape from the Nazis. FDR himself did notoriously send countless Japanese Americans into internment camps just because of their ancestry and it is said that FDR personally had racist views towards Japanese Americans and him putting Japanese Americans in internment camps was partially motivated by his personal racist views towards them. So the possibility that FDR was personally anti semtic himself isn’t completely unfounded.

The Johnson-Reid Act was noted earlier as an anti-Catholic (Southern and Central European 'ethnics') measure but then is noted later as the reason German Jews were not let in?

[@SonoftheAllfather]

It's not about intent for leftists, it's about outcome, but only in selected instances. Example: if a law that's intended to be universally applied disproportionately impacts Blacks in a negative way, that law is then "racist" to a leftist. This is the argument they made against mandatory minimums for crack cocaine. Of course, this standard doesn't apply when it's Whites who are disproportionately impacted in a negative way. No leftist ever argued that the law which established mandatory minimums for methamphetamine was "racist" against Whites.

20:46 Just so we're clear on this, THE cause of the '29 crash was the Smoot-Hawley tariff which initially was on sugar and wool but eventually included at least 800 to ten thousand products. This is not merely the opinion of Jude Wanniski in The Way the World Works but was recently echoed by NPR in an hour long Saturday broadcast in the early days of the Trump Administration. Henry Ford spent aday at The White House BEGGING Hoover to stop passage, but the expectations alone that it would pass caused the '29 Crash even before the bill passed, which intellectually dishonest protectionists ranging from Pat Buchanan to the Cambridge author of Bad Samaritans have claimed is proof Wanniski is wrong. Friedman and Schwarz theories on monetary mismanagement are largely correct and added to deepening and lengthening the subsequent Depression are correct, but even Keynesians like Kindleberger in The World in Depression mention that retaliatory beggar-thy-neighbor protectionist policies by other nations against the Smoot Hawley tariff also deepened and lengthened the Depression. The Friedmanite notion (stated in Free to Choose, both the book and tv series) that we merely needed to extend credit when banks were getting runs during the stock crash is false since it didn't erase the underlying cause. The Austrian notion that malinvestment was occurring during the 1920s was also wrong,just as the Keynesian notion that the Crash and Depression were due to "animal spirits" and the inherent instability of the capitalist system (Shilleresque "bubbles") is also wrong. Hoover and the Smoot-Hawley tariff plunged the entire planet into the Great Depression and thus WWII.

Burns never even interviewed the arresting officers Eric Reynolds and Rudy Hall, both black officers, interviews can be found on KZbin as can the full unedited interviews of the young men where clearly their parents were present, they had breaks and were fed and were convicted only by their own words, uncoerced all of which are facts that Ava DuVarnay also ignored as inconvenient truths.

The last 10 minutes of episode 3 was a compilation of Charlottesville, Jan 6, neo Nazi imagery that came off as a pure pro-Democrat propaganda hit piece. No side of the 2 parties (GOP/Dems) is perfect historically but he said in regard to the Republican Party in an interview “the Republican party, for example, born on the idea of liberating the black man has completely flipped and become the party of white supremacy.” It’s disgraceful and completely irresponsible, I lean center-right and more moderate conservative but if I said “the Democrats are still the party of the Klan, except they still wear their sheets in secret today”… that would be just as BS today. It’s tribal political point-scoring so I was so disappointed to see Ken do this… he ruined such an amazing documentary. It remained completely non-partisan and fair until those last 10 minutes of the last episode I’m kind of a moderate Abe-Lincolnite Republican who despises MTG, I hate Gosar, I hate Mastriano… I cannot stand these fringe lunatics so as a Ken Burns fan and admirer of his work, so to see him do this was a massive stab in the back.
