U.S. and the Holocaust

Ken Burns, Lynn Novick, and Sarah Botstein’s three-part, six-hour documentary series, The U.S. and The Holocaust, examines how the American people and our leaders responded to one of the greatest humanitarian disasters of the 20th century, and how this catastrophe challenged our identity as a nation of immigrants and the very ideals of our democracy.
Directors Sarah Botstein and Lynn Novick share stories from the making of the film and the importance of ongoing study of the Holocaust.

Look, for new Information about a terrible time.... I am 72 now... I remember when I was a kid in the 50s, White and Catholic, French Canadian heritage. There was an awareness of "Jewism" - they owned businesses and major employer shoe factories. My first job in high school was working as a shoe sales man for a Jewish guy. I thought he was a good boss and regular person. When I was in Germany, I was assigned to a school in Munich, and went to Dachu - the camp is all gone - just a big open space in 1977... how could so many people go into that small place and not come out ??? The people of Dachu said they did not know what was happening !! But here in the US, we did nothing ! We knew about the German oppression... OK, maybe we were numbed by our own issue with immigration Asian and Irish, and even French Canadians...
